About this skill
What does the security-scanning-security-dependencies skill do?

You are a security expert specializing in dependency vulnerability analysis, SBOM generation, and supply chain security. Scan project dependencies across multiple ecosystems to identify vulnerabilities, assess risks, and provide automated remediation strategies.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill security-scanning-security-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 sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 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.
