Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned softaworks/agent-toolkit at 3027f20f31.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The dependency-updater skill automates the process of identifying and updating dependencies in software projects. It scans project files, detects outdated or vulnerable packages, and provides actionable updates to ensure the project remains secure and up-to-date.

When to use it

  • Before deploying a new version of an application to check for security vulnerabilities in dependencies.
  • After cloning a repository to quickly identify and fix outdated package versions.
  • As part of a CI/CD pipeline to maintain consistent and secure dependency versions across environments.

Key capabilities

  • Scans project files (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt) for listed dependencies.
  • Identifies outdated or insecure packages using version comparison and vulnerability databases.
  • Provides upgrade suggestions with compatible versions and potential breaking changes.

Example prompts

  • "Scan my project's dependencies and list any outdated packages."
  • "Check if there are security vulnerabilities in the current package versions."
  • "Suggest updates for all dependencies in this Python project."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your project files are correctly formatted and accessible to the tool.
  • Some dependency updates may require manual review due to potential breaking changes or compatibility issues.
