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 ovachiever/droid-tings at 7acd12a754.

    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 Auditor skill automatically analyzes your project's code dependencies to identify potential security vulnerabilities and ensure a clean, maintainable codebase. It checks for known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), outdated packages with available security fixes, malicious packages, license compatibility issues, and deprecated packages. The tool supports various package managers across multiple programming languages.

When to use it

This skill is useful in the following scenarios:

  • Whenever package.json, requirements.txt, Gemfile, or pom.xml files are modified.
  • Before deploying code changes to production environments.
  • When you suspect vulnerabilities exist within your project's dependencies.
  • After installing new packages using a package manager.

Key capabilities

  • Vulnerability Scanning: Detects known CVEs, malicious packages, and license compatibility issues.
  • Package Manager Support: Works with Node.js (npm, yarn, pnpm), Python (pip, pipenv, poetry), Ruby (bundler), Java (Maven, Gradle), Go (go modules), and PHP (composer).
  • Severity Classification: Categorizes vulnerabilities as CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW based on their potential impact.
  • Automated Fix Suggestions: Provides recommendations for updating vulnerable packages, including both safe automatic fixes and options that may introduce breaking changes.
  • Automatic Actions: Detects package managers, runs security audit commands, parses results, categorizes vulnerabilities, suggests fixes, and flags breaking changes.

Example prompts

  • "Run a dependency audit on my project."
  • "Check for vulnerabilities in my requirements.txt file."
  • "What dependencies have known security issues?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill automatically runs audits when certain files are modified, but you can also trigger it manually.
  • Be aware that using --force with automatic fix commands (e.g., npm audit fix --force) may introduce breaking changes to your project.
  • Review the suggested fixes carefully before applying them, especially for critical vulnerabilities.
