How does it find security vulnerabilities?

It utilizes the dependency-checker plugin to scan your project's manifest files against known vulnerability databases (CVEs).

How do I trigger a dependency scan?

You can use natural language commands like 'check dependencies' or 'find vulnerabilities', or use the shortcut command '/depcheck'.

Does it suggest specific versions for updates?

Yes, the reports include available updates for outdated packages, specifying major, minor, and patch releases for easier remediation.

Can it help with license compliance?

Yes, it identifies the licenses of your dependencies to help you ensure they align with your project's legal requirements.

Which package managers are supported?

This skill supports npm (JavaScript), pip (Python), composer (PHP), gem (Ruby), and go modules.
