Dependency Audit is an agent skill from PlamenTSV/plamen. Trigger EXTERNALLIB flag detected (protocol uses third-party Move dependencies) - Used by Breadth agents, depth-external
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Autonomous Web3 security audit agent for Claude Code. The licence is MIT.
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 795962b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Dependency Audit loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 976 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/dependency-audit/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Trigger: EXTERNAL_LIB flag detected (protocol uses third-party Move dependencies) Used by: Breadth agents, depth-external Covers: Third-party library security, upgrade policy risks, critical function correctness, transitive dependency chains
Audit third-party Move dependencies for security risks. Aptos protocols commonly depend on external math libraries, utility modules, and protocol SDKs. Unlike EVM (where dependencies are compiled into the contract), Move dependencies are on-chain modules that can be independently upgraded. A dependency upgrade can silently change the behavior of the audited protocol.
Parse Move.toml for all dependencies. Categorize each:
| # | Dependency | Source | Category | Upgrade Policy | Revision Pinned? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AptosFramework | aptos-framework repo | FRAMEWORK | Framework governance | {rev hash or branch} |
| 2 | AptosStd | aptos-framework repo | FRAMEWORK | Framework governance | {rev hash or branch} |
| 3 | AptosToken | aptos-framework repo | FRAMEWORK | Framework governance | {rev hash or branch} |
| 4 | {third_party_lib} | {git URL} | THIRD_PARTY | {compatible/immutable/unknown} | {YES: rev=abc123 / NO: branch=main} |
| 5 | {sub_module} | local path | IN_SCOPE | N/A (part of audit) | N/A |
Categories:
aptos_framework, aptos_std, aptos_token, aptos_token_objects - trusted, framework-governance-controlled. Audit framework USAGE, not framework internals.MANDATORY PARSE: Read Move.toml (and any sub-package Move.toml files) for:
[dependencies] section entriesgit = "..." URLs - identify the source repositoryrev = "..." - pinned revision hash (safe) vs branch = "main" (dangerous)local = "..." - in-scope sub-modulesFor each THIRD_PARTY dependency:
| Dependency | On-Chain Address | Upgrade Policy | Can Upgrade Without Protocol Knowledge? | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {lib} | {0x...} | immutable | NO | LOW |
| {lib} | {0x...} | compatible | YES - publisher can add functions, change logic | HIGH |
| {lib} | {0x...} | unknown | VERIFY ON-CHAIN | ASSESS |
Check for each compatible dependency:
Severity: If a compatible third-party dependency can be upgraded to change behavior of functions the protocol calls, AND the protocol has no way to detect or prevent this -> minimum MEDIUM finding.
Pinning check: If Move.toml uses branch = "main" instead of rev = "abc123":
For each function called from a THIRD_PARTY dependency:
| # | Called Function | From Module | Parameters | Return Type | Frequency | Impact If Wrong |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | {lib::func()} | {our_module} | {params} | {return} | {every tx / periodic / init only} | {describe} |
For each critical function (called frequently OR high impact if wrong):
Overflow/underflow check:
a * b where both are u64 - can overflow)<< or >>? If so, is the shift amount bounded to < 64 (for u64) or < 128 (for u128)? Unbounded bit shifts are a known attack vector (historical exploit: bit shift overflow in a custom shift helper allowed minting tokens from minimal liquidity).Edge case check:
| Input | Expected Output | Actual Output | Correct? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | {expected} | {verify} | YES/NO |
| 1 | {expected} | {verify} | YES/NO |
| MAX_U64 | {expected: revert or handled} | {verify} | YES/NO |
| MAX_U128 | {expected} | {verify} | YES/NO |
Specification check:
For each third-party function call:
| Call | Trusts Dependency To | What If Dependency Lies/Breaks | Detection? |
|---|---|---|---|
| {lib::get_price()} | Return accurate price | Protocol uses wrong price → fund loss | {sanity check present?} |
| {lib::sqrt(x)} | Return correct sqrt | Wrong math → accounting error | {no detection} |
Check: Does the protocol validate the RETURN VALUE of third-party calls? Or does it blindly trust the result?
If no validation AND high impact -> FINDING.
Check whether third-party dependencies have their own dependencies:
Protocol
├── aptos_framework (FRAMEWORK)
├── third_party_lib_A
│ ├── aptos_framework (FRAMEWORK - OK, shared)
│ └── third_party_lib_B (THIRD_PARTY - audit this!)
│ └── aptos_std (FRAMEWORK - OK)
└── third_party_lib_C
└── (no additional deps)| Transitive Dependency | Reached Via | Upgrade Policy | Audited? | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| {lib_B} | lib_A -> lib_B | {policy} | YES/NO | {assess} |
Check:
aptos_framework, aptos_std, aptos_token are framework-governed and heavily audited - do not flag as third-party risk (but DO audit usage patterns)immutable policy, upgrade risk is zeromath64::mul_div() and similar are well-tested - focus audit on third-party math libraries## Finding [DEP-N]: Title

Run `npx skills add PlamenTSV/plamen --skill dependency-audit -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/skills/aptos/dependency-audit in PlamenTSV/plamen) into .claude/skills/dependency-audit in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add PlamenTSV/plamen --skill dependency-audit -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (agents/skills/aptos/dependency-audit in PlamenTSV/plamen) into .agents/skills/dependency-audit in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add PlamenTSV/plamen --skill dependency-audit -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dependency-audit, .gemini/skills/dependency-audit, .github/skills/dependency-audit and .opencode/skills/dependency-audit in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dependency Audit needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Dependency Audit is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 9.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
