Audits third-party dependencies for exploitable CVEs, abandonment, license exposure, and supply-chain hygiene, and delivers a ranked findings report with a remediation order. Use when someone asks "is this package safe to add", "audit our dependencies", "npm audit is screaming, what actually matters", "can we use this GPL library", or is preparing a security review or vendor questionnaire. Do NOT use for triaging vulnerabilities in first-party code or a full CVE queue - use…
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
# Dependency Risk Audit Third-party packages are the most common source of supply-chain compromise and known-vulnerability exploitation; treat dependency selection as a security decision, not a convenience one. The costly failure this skill prevents is on both ends: shipping a reachable critical CVE because the audit output was noise nobody read, and burning a sprint patching findings in code paths that can never execute. ## Operating procedure ### Step 1: gather inputs Collect (label guesses as guesses): 1. Ecosystem and manifest/lockfile (package.json + lockfile, requirements/poetry, Gemfile.lock, go.mod). 2. Deployment context: server-side, client-side, CLI-only, or build-time only - this decides reachability. 3. License posture: proprietary/commercial code, or open source (decides copyleft tolerance). 4. Whether this is a point decision (one new package) or a full audit (whole tree). ### Step 2: run the native audit and triage for reachability Run the ecosystem's native tool first: `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, `bundle audit`, `govulncheck` (which does reachability analysis natively - trust its "not called" verdicts). For each finding: …

How to install
mdr add skillmedev/skills/dependency-risk-audit@sha256:8a9ad8be597688a0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261013.97a1360, 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.
