Quick brief

This skill is for the decision point before a new dependency, repository, or agent skill is allowed into the workspace. It covers the workflow of scanning manifests, repositories, SBOM inputs, or agent skill repos, then applying malware, vulnerability, and policy checks before the dependency is trusted.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke this instead of using the package ecosystem normally when the important task is not installation but pre-adoption screening. It fits well in CI, review checklists, and guarded agent workflows that should not pull in unknown packages or skills without a safety pass.

The scope boundary is meaningful: this is not a generic package manager or generic security platform listing. It is specifically the SafeDep Vet workflow for scanning candidate dependencies or skill repos before they are admitted.
