Plan-only audit of dependencies for hallucinated or slopsquatted packages, supply-chain risk, and license gaps. Use when "check my dependencies", "is this package real", "slopsquatting", "SBOM", or "did the AI hallucinate a package".
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 Provenance & Supply-Chain Audit + Remediation Plan **Degree of freedom: HIGH** — resolve, classify, plan. Stay **plan-only**. Never install a suspect package to "check". ## This skill vs neighbors | Skill | Owns | |---|---| | **plan-dependency-provenance** (this) | Slopsquatting / SBOM / license plan | | `plan-security-audit` | OWASP umbrella burndown | | `workflow-housekeep` | Apply dependency updates after approval | | `plan-dead-code` | Unimported deps + unreachable source (graph fact) | ## How to reason (every plan item) 1. **Propose** — verify, remove, pin, or license-remediate a package 2. **Risk** — squat, unsigned install, license conflict, or lockfile roll 3. **Keep-working** — packages that already resolve, pin, and license clean 4. **Phase** — verify/remove → lock & pin → license → de-bloat (do not execute) ## Worked example > **Propose:** remove `fast-cache-utils` (no registry hit); do not `npm install` it to "check". > **Risk:** AI-suggested name is a squat — install *is* the attack. > **Keep-working:** `zod` resolves, MIT, maintained repo. > **Phase:** Phase 1 — verify/remove suspect packages. …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/plan-dependency-provenance@sha256:10d1cd68175cd2d5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260923.68c095e, 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.
