What it does

Dependency Audit Assistant is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Reviews package dependencies for security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, and license compliance. Use when user asks about dependencies, security audits, or before releases.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `reference/common-vulnerabilities.md`, `reference/licenses.md` and `scripts/check-licenses.sh`).

It sits in Security, covering Regulatory compliance and Security review. It works with npm, Gradle, Ruby and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • User asks about dependencies
  • Security audits
  • Before releases

Example prompts

  • “Use the dependency-audit-assistant skill to review package dependencies for security vulnerabilities, outdated versions, and license compliance”
  • “/dependency-audit-assistant”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell
  • Docker
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Workflow steps

10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect Package Manager
  2. Run Security Audit
  3. Check for Outdated Packages
  4. License Compliance Check
  5. Analyze Dependency Tree
  6. Priority Vulnerabilities
  7. Generate Recommendations
  8. Update Strategy
  9. Generate Summary Report
  10. Continuous Monitoring

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 755bc35. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • yarn
    • poetry
    • cargo
    • pip
    • bundle
    • mvn
    • go
    • pnpm
    • composer
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • react.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Dependency Audit Assistant loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 739 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NotePre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: Bash)SKILL.md
    allowed-tools: Read, Grep, Glob, Bash

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 739 words (~2,228 tokens).

“This skill helps audit project dependencies for security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compliance issues.”
