audit-dependencies

What problem does it solve?

Outdated and vulnerable third-party dependencies introduce significant security risks and maintenance overhead into projects. This Skill automates the process of identifying these issues.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Security Vulnerability Scan: Runs npm audit to scan for known security vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies.
• Severity Classification: Categorizes vulnerabilities by severity (critical, high, moderate, low) and lists affected packages.
• Outdated Package Detection: Identifies packages that are behind the latest versions using npm outdated, helping with maintenance planning.
• Use Case: Integrate this Skill into your security audits, CI/CD pipeline, or regular maintenance checks to automatically detect and address dependency-related security and freshness issues.

Quick Start
