Audit project dependencies for version staleness, security vulnerabilities, and compatibility issues. Covers lock file analysis, upgrade path planning, and breaking change assessment. Use before a release to ensure dependencies are current and secure, during periodic maintenance reviews, after receiving a security advisory, when upgrading to a new language version, before submitting to CRAN or npm, or when inheriting a project to assess its dependency health.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Audit Dependency Versions Audit project dependencies for version staleness, known security vulnerabilities, and compatibility issues. This skill inventories all dependencies from lock files, checks each against the latest available version, classifies staleness levels, identifies security concerns, and produces a prioritized upgrade report with recommended actions. ## When to Use - Before a release to ensure dependencies are current and secure - During periodic maintenance (monthly or quarterly dependency reviews) - After a security advisory affects a project dependency - When upgrading a project to a new language version (e.g., R 4.4 to 4.5) - Before submitting a package to CRAN, npm, or crates.io - When inheriting a project and assessing its dependency health ## Inputs - **Required**: Project root directory containing dependency/lock files - **Optional**: Ecosystem type if not auto-detectable (R, Node.js, Python, Rust) - **Optional**: Security-only mode flag (skip staleness, focus on CVEs) - **Optional**: Allowlist of dependencies to skip (known acceptable older versions) - **Optional**: Target date for compatibility (e.g., "must work with R 4.4.x") ## Procedure …

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/audit-dependency-versions@sha256:65717f703302672bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
