Dependency Auditor
Review Go module dependency trees (direct and indirect) for risky versions, bloat, and supply-chain hygiene before release.
Install
npx skills add https://github.com/alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill dependency-auditorWhat is this skill?
- Audits Go `go.mod` require blocks including indirect dependency chains
- Surfaces common stacks: Gin, GORM, Redis, JWT, Zap, and crypto libraries from exemplar modules
- Supports reasoning about version pins and transitive bloat in microservice-style Go 1.20+ projects
- Intended for agent-led review when dependency files change in PRs or before deploy
- Pairs with backend Go services using Postgres, WebSockets, and YAML config patterns

Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Canonical shelf is Ship → security because the skill’s purpose is pre-release dependency scrutiny, though the same audit applies whenever you change go.mod during Build or Operate. Subphase security fits CVE-oriented and supply-chain review of require blocks rather than feature implementation or test authoring.
