Trigger
- Keywords: dep audit, dependency audit, security audit dependencies, dep-audit

Workflow Steps
| Step | Goal | Safety |
|---|---|---|
| audit | Scan dependencies for vulnerabilities | read-only |
Failure behavior: report-all
Task
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS
--level <severity>— Minimum reporting level (low/moderate/high/critical), default: moderate--fix— Attempt automatic fix
Step 1: Check for audit script
Use Glob to check if .claude/scripts/dep-audit.sh exists in the project root.
- Found → run:
bash .claude/scripts/dep-audit.sh $ARGUMENTS- If script succeeds, use its output and skip to the Output section.
- If script fails, treat as a real audit failure (do not silently fallback).
- NOT found → skip to Step 2 (do NOT attempt to run the script).
Step 2: Fallback (no audit script)
Detect the project ecosystem and run the audit manually.
Ecosystem detection (check project root for manifest files):
| Manifest | Ecosystem | Audit Command | Fix Command |
|---|---|---|---|
package.json + pnpm-lock.yaml | Node (pnpm) | pnpm audit --audit-level {LEVEL} | pnpm audit --fix |
package.json + yarn.lock | Node (yarn) | yarn audit --level {LEVEL} | yarn audit --fix or npx yarn-audit-fix |
package.json | Node (npm) | npm audit --audit-level={LEVEL} | npm audit fix |
pyproject.toml | Python | pip-audit or safety check | pip-audit --fix |
Cargo.toml | Rust | cargo audit | cargo audit fix |
go.mod | Go | govulncheck ./... | (manual fix) |
build.gradle | Java | ./gradlew dependencyCheckAnalyze | (manual fix) |
Default {LEVEL} is moderate unless --level argument is provided.
If --fix is specified, run the fix command for the detected ecosystem after audit.
If no recognized manifest file exists, report an error.
Output
## Audit Results
| Severity | Count |
|----------|-------|
| Critical | 0 |
| High | 0 |
| Moderate | 0 |
| Low | 0 |
## Vulnerability Details
### [severity] Issue Title
- **Package**: package-name
- **Fix**: Available / Not available
## Gate
✅ **PASS** — No moderate or above vulnerabilities
❌ **FAIL** — Found high severity vulnerabilities
Examples
/dep-audit
/dep-audit --level high
