  • Tasks that involve Supply chain security

What it does

Dependency Awareness is an agent skill from Goldziher/ai-rulez. Per-language dependency vulnerability audit tool reference (cargo audit/deny, pip-audit, npm/pnpm audit, govulncheck, bundler-audit, composer audit, OWASP dependency-check, dotnet vulnerable, mixaudit). Load when adding, updating, or auditing project dependencies, wiring up CI supply-chain checks, or triaging CVEs in a lock file.

Its SKILL.md is about 250 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, Web application vulnerabilities and Supply chain security. It works with pnpm, .NET and npm. The repository describes itself as: One source of truth for AI assistant configs: 14 built-in presets (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Gemini, Xum, …), full-parity custom presets, and distributable plugin bundles… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Vulnerability scanning
  • Tasks that involve Web application vulnerabilities
  • Tasks that involve Supply chain security

Example prompts

  • “/dependency-awareness”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2dbd6a4. 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:

    • cargo
    • npm
    • pnpm
    • composer
    • dotnet

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Awareness loads about 250 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 71 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~250

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.

description
Per-language dependency vulnerability audit tool reference (cargo audit/deny, pip-audit, npm/pnpm audit, govulncheck, bundler-audit, composer audit, OWASP dependency-check, dotnet vulnerable, mix_audit). Load when adding, updating, or auditing project dependencies, wiring up CI supply-chain checks, or triaging CVEs in a lock file.

Audit dependencies before adding them. Prefer well-maintained, widely-used packages with active maintenance. Pin versions and commit lock files. Use language-specific audit tools in CI:

  • Rust: cargo audit, cargo deny (license + advisory policies)
  • Python: pip-audit, bandit (SAST)
  • JavaScript/TypeScript: npm audit, pnpm audit
  • Go: govulncheck
  • Ruby: bundler-audit
  • PHP: composer audit
  • Java: OWASP dependency-check Maven/Gradle plugin
  • C#: dotnet list package --vulnerable
  • Elixir: mix_audit Zero tolerance for critical/high CVEs. Automate dependency update PRs where possible.
