auditing-python-dependencies
Audit a Python project's installed dependencies for known CVEs by wrapping pip-audit (PyPA's official vulnerability auditor) and emitting findings in the canonical penetration-tester schema. Detects vulnerable direct AND transitive packages, normalizes pip-audit's severity output via OSV severity bands, falls back to pip list --outdated when pip-audit isn't installed, and supports requirements.txt, pyproject.toml (PEP 621), Pipfile.lock, and poetry.lock as input sources. Use when: pre-merge gate on a Python project, post-incident sweep after a PyPI compromise (e.g. ctx, request-toolbelt typo

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Auditing Python Dependencies ## Overview PyPI hosts north of 500,000 packages, with several thousand new releases every day. The package-install model is identical to npm in the relevant ways: a `pip install` resolves a transitive graph, runs each package's `setup.py` (which executes arbitrary Python at install time), and writes the result to your site-packages. The CVE attack surface is therefo
What does the auditing-python-dependencies skill do?
Audit a Python project's installed dependencies for known CVEs by wrapping pip-audit (PyPA's official vulnerability auditor) and emitting findings in the canonical penetration-tester schema. Detects vulnerable direct AND transitive packages, normalizes pip-audit's severity output via OSV severity bands, falls back to pip list --outdated when pip-audit isn't installed, and supports requirements.txt, pyproject.toml (PEP 621), Pipfile.lock, and poetry.lock as input sources.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill auditing-python-dependencies --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
