Dependency Audit

What it does

The fusengine-dependency-audit skill analyzes a project's dependencies to identify potential vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and licensing issues. It generates reports detailing these findings, allowing developers to proactively address security risks and ensure compliance. The audit process can be automated as part of a continuous integration pipeline for ongoing monitoring.

When to use it

• Security Audits: Before deploying an application or library to production, run a dependency audit to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
• Dependency Upgrades: Determine which dependencies are outdated and require updates to benefit from bug fixes, performance improvements, or new features.
• License Compliance: Verify that the licenses of your project's dependencies are compatible with your intended usage and distribution model.
• New Project Setup: During the initial setup of a new project, use this skill to establish a baseline for dependency management and security best practices.

Key capabilities

• Dependency scanning
• Vulnerability detection
• Outdated package identification
• License analysis
• Report generation

Example prompts

• "Audit dependencies in my package.json file."
• "Generate a report of vulnerable packages for this project."
• "Check the licenses of all direct and transitive dependencies."

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires access to the project's dependency manifest file (e.g., package.json, pom.xml). Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to read these files for accurate results.
