Dependency Management Deps Audit

What it does

This skill performs a dependency audit, identifying outdated or vulnerable dependencies within a project. It analyzes package manifests (like package.json or requirements.txt) and generates reports detailing the current versions of installed packages alongside their known vulnerabilities. The tool helps ensure software projects maintain secure and up-to-date dependencies.

When to use it

• Security Audits: Regularly check for vulnerable dependencies in a project before deployment.
• Dependency Updates: Determine which dependencies need updating to the latest stable versions.
• New Project Setup: Identify potential dependency conflicts early on during project initialization.
• Compliance Checks: Verify that your project's dependencies meet specific security or licensing requirements.

Key capabilities

• Package manifest analysis (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt)
• Vulnerability scanning of installed packages
• Generation of dependency audit reports
• Identification of outdated package versions

Example prompts

• "Audit the dependencies in my project's package.json file."
• "Generate a report showing vulnerable Python packages listed in requirements.txt."
• “List all dependencies that are older than version 1.2.0.”

Tips & gotchas

• The skill requires access to the relevant package manifest files (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt). Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to read these files.
