Audit, survey, and upgrade project dependencies safely — majors escalated, never auto-applied.

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 Management

Doctrine for the three dependency verbs — **audit** (what's vulnerable), **outdated** (what's behind), **upgrade** (move safely). Ecosystem-specific commands and gotchas live in references:

| Ecosystem   | Reference                 |
| ----------- | ------------------------- |
| npm / pnpm / yarn | <references/npm.md>       |
| Python (pip / uv) | <references/python.md>    |
| Go / Rust         | <references/go-rust.md>   |

Read the relevant reference before running any audit or upgrade command.

## Audit

**Prefer `osv-scanner` when installed** (`command -v osv-scanner`) — it is ecosystem-agnostic, reads lockfiles directly, and covers polyglot repos in one pass:

```bash
osv-scanner scan --lockfile <lockfile>   # or: osv-scanner scan -r .
```

Otherwise fall back to the native tool per ecosystem: `npm audit` / `pip-audit` / `cargo audit` / `govulncheck` (exact invocations + gotchas in references).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add higoralves/orc/dependency-management@sha256:bf0d6b229401bfa4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261020.7a1f356, 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.
