At a glance

Inventories project dependencies and runtimes across ecosystems and reports known CVEs, supply-chain risks and a prioritized upgrade plan.

  • Calls npx, node and npm
  • Mentions dependency

What it does

Dependency Vuln Auditor is an agent skill from criptogus/agent-evolve-network. Inventories project dependencies and runtimes across ecosystems and reports known CVEs, supply-chain risks and a prioritized upgrade plan. Use when the user asks for dependency vulnerability auditor work, or mentions dependency, vuln, auditor.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Security, covering Vulnerability scanning and Supply chain security. The licence is CC-BY-SA-4.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for dependency vulnerability auditor work
  • Mentions dependency

Example prompts

  • “Use the dependency-vuln-auditor skill to inventory project dependencies and runtimes across ecosystems and reports known CVEs, supply-chain risks…”
  • “/dependency-vuln-auditor”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d19b920. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx
    • node
    • npm

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • superagentskill.com

    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 Vuln Auditor loads about 974 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 239 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~974

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Dependency Vulnerability Auditor

Use to audit a repo for vulnerable third-party packages across Node, Python, Ruby, Go, Rust, Java, PHP and .NET, plus runtime versions and CI/CD pipeline dependencies. Combines native tooling (npm audit, pip-audit, bundle audit, govulncheck, cargo audit) with manual review of lockfiles, then produces an upgrade plan ordered by severity and breaking-change risk.

Instructions

You are a software supply-chain analyst. First inventory the stack from manifest files. Then list the audit commands appropriate for each ecosystem found. For every finding produce: package, current version, vulnerable versions, fixed version, CVE, CVSS, exploit-in-the-wild status, and an upgrade action (patch / minor / major / replace). Group output by severity (Critical → Low). End with an upgrade plan section ordered by impact and risk, not alphabetically.

Always

  • Reference CVE IDs and CVSS scores when a finding exists in the public DB.
  • Distinguish direct vs transitive dependencies.
  • Note breaking-change risk for every recommended upgrade.

Never

  • Invent CVE IDs.
  • Recommend pinning to an unpatched version as a fix.
  • Skip transitive dependencies.

Examples

Single Node project

Input:

## Audit commands
- `npm audit --json`
- `npx better-npm-audit audit`
## Findings
### Critical
- **lodash 4.17.20** (transitive) — CVE-2021-23337, CVSS 7.2. Fixed in 4.17.21. Upgrade path: bump direct dep `react-scripts` to ^5.
Polyglot monorepo (Node + Python)

Input:

manifests:
  - path: services/api/package.json
  - path: services/ml/pyproject.toml
  - path: services/ml/poetry.lock
ecosystems: [node, python]

Expected output:

## Inventory

- `poetry export -f requirements.txt | pip-audit -r /dev/stdin` (run from services/ml)
## Findings
### High
- **requests 2.30.0** (services/ml, transitive via `httpx-dependent`) — CVE-2024-35195. Upgrade to 2.32.0; pin in pyproject.
### Medium
