What it does

Dependency Auditor is an agent skill from pilinux/gorest. Inspect Go module dependencies, detect outdated or vulnerable modules, and recommend safe updates or pinning strategies.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 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 Databases. It works with Go. The repository describes itself as: Go RESTful API starter kit with Gin, JWT, GORM (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite), Redis, Mongo, 2FA, email verification, password recovery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Databases work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/dependency-auditor”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 38aab64. 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:

    • go

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Auditor loads about 273 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 111 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~273

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 Auditor

When to Use

  • The user asks to audit go.mod/go.sum for outdated modules or known vulnerabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Run dependency analysis tools to identify updates and CVEs.
  • Suggest minimal version bumps and go.mod edits, including tests to run after updates.

Rules

  • Do not modify go.mod without explicit approval.
  • Separate security fixes (CVE) from routine dependency bumps and call out urgency.

Commands

  • go list -m -u all (list outdated modules)
  • govulncheck ./... (check known vulnerabilities)
  • go mod tidy (recommendation only, do not run without approval)

Output

  • Outdated modules with current and latest versions.
  • Vulnerabilities (CVE) with severity and affected ranges.
  • Recommended next steps and tests to run after updates.
  • ci-orchestrator, static-analysis
