Can this skill help with legal licensing issues?

Yes, it analyzes the licenses of your dependencies to ensure they comply with your project requirements and alerts you to potential licensing conflicts.

How does it identify security vulnerabilities?

It utilizes the dependency-checker plugin to scan your project's manifest files against known vulnerability databases and CVE lists to find security flaws.

Which package managers are supported by this skill?

This skill currently supports npm (JavaScript/Node.js), pip (Python), composer (PHP), gem (Ruby), and go modules (Go).

When is the best time to run a dependency check?

It is best practice to run a check during regular maintenance cycles and always before deploying new code to a production environment.

Does it automatically apply updates to my packages?

The skill identifies outdated packages and suggests the appropriate versions; you can then direct Claude to update the files or create a pull request based on those findings.

Security & Testing

Analyzes project dependencies to identify security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compliance risks across multiple package managers.

About

This skill provides a comprehensive auditing layer for your development environment by scanning manifest files for npm, pip, composer, gem, and go modules. It automates the process of cross-referencing dependencies against vulnerability databases (CVEs), identifying packages that require updates for performance or security reasons, and ensuring that all third-party libraries align with your project's license requirements. By integrating directly into the Claude Code workflow, it enables developers to maintain a secure and up-to-date codebase through automated reporting and remediation insights.
