SKILL.md
Overview
This skill empowers Claude to automatically analyze your project's dependencies for security vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license compliance issues. It uses the dependency-checker plugin to identify potential risks and provides insights for remediation.
How It Works
- Detecting Package Manager: The skill identifies the relevant package manager (npm, pip, composer, gem, go modules) based on the presence of manifest files (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt, composer.json).
- Scanning Dependencies: The skill utilizes the dependency-checker plugin to scan the identified dependencies against known vulnerability databases (CVEs), outdated package lists, and license information.
- Generating Report: The skill presents a comprehensive report summarizing the findings, including vulnerability summaries, detailed vulnerability information, outdated packages with recommended updates, and license compliance issues.
When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when you need to:
- Check a project for known security vulnerabilities in its dependencies.
- Identify outdated packages that may contain security flaws or performance issues.
- Ensure that the project's dependencies comply with licensing requirements.
