Varnan-Tech/opendirectorySkill
Scans your project for outdated npm, pip, Cargo, Go, or Ruby packages. Runs a CVE security audit. Fetches changelogs, summarizes breaking changes with Gemini, and opens one PR per risk group (patch, minor, major). Includes Diagnosis Mode for install conflicts. Use when asked to update dependencies, check for outdated packages, open dependency PRs, scan for package updates, audit for CVEs, or flag breaking changes in upgrades. Trigger when a user says "check for outdated packages", "update my dependencies", "open PRs for dependency updates", "scan for CVEs", or "which packages need upgrading".
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 682 stars are split between them (about 68 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 67/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 20, 2026 at commit caac7cda5621, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
