dependency-scan
Scan project dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVEs), auto-fix safe patches, and generate SBOM. Auto-detects all package managers in monorepos — npm (npm audit), yarn (yarn audit), pnpm (pnpm audit), pip/poetry (pip-audit), Cargo (cargo audit), Go modules (govulncheck), Maven (dependency-check), Gradle, Bundler (bundle audit), and Composer. Categorizes findings by severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low), dependency type (direct vs transitive), and fix availability. Applies safe patch-level fixes automatically, adds npm overrides or yarn resolutions for transitive vulnerabilities, flags major version bumps for manual review, and generates CycloneDX SBOM with license compliance checks (GPL, AGPL, LGPL flagging). Verifies fixes by re-scanning and running tests before committing.

Frequently asked questions about dependency-scan
What does the dependency-scan skill do?
Scan project dependencies for known vulnerabilities (CVEs), auto-fix safe patches, and generate SBOM. Auto-detects all package managers in monorepos — npm (npm audit), yarn (yarn audit), pnpm (pnpm audit), pip/poetry (pip-audit), Cargo (cargo audit), Go modules (govulncheck), Maven (dependency-check), Gradle, Bundler (bundle audit), and Composer.

Verifies fixes by re-scanning and running tests before committing. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the dependency-scan skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install dependency-scan` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/dependency-scan/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does dependency-scan work with?
dependency-scan runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the dependency-scan skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use dependency-scan after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/dependency-scan` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the dependency-scan skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
