audit-fixer

What This Skill Does

The audit-fixer skill is a powerful developer assistant designed to ingest npm audit JSON output and provide intelligent, prioritized remediation strategies. Instead of manually parsing dozens of lines of terminal output, the AI agent performs a deep analysis of your dependency tree. It classifies vulnerabilities based on real-world impact, distinguishing between critical production threats and benign dev-dependency issues that may not actually be reachable in your application code. The tool outputs actionable fix commands, suggests package overrides where direct updates are not possible, and explains the reasoning behind each recommendation.

Installation

You can integrate this tool into your OpenClaw environment by running the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/lxgicstudios/ai-audit-fix

No additional global packages are required as it utilizes npx to invoke the underlying engine. Ensure your Node.js environment is version 18 or higher for full compatibility with the analysis logic.

Use Cases

This skill is essential for scenarios where your project dependency audit reveals an overwhelming list of vulnerabilities. Use it when:

• Your CI/CD pipeline is blocked by security vulnerabilities.
• You are preparing a vulnerability report for a security audit or compliance review.
• You need to determine if a high-severity vulnerability is actually reachable in your production build.
• You are managing complex legacy projects with deep, intertwined nested dependencies that are difficult to upgrade manually.

Example Prompts

1. "Run an audit on this project and tell me which critical vulnerabilities are reachable in my production code and how to fix them."
2. "Analyze the npm audit output and list only the high-severity items, providing the exact command to override dependencies that can't be updated yet."
3. "My project has 50+ vulnerabilities. Can you prioritize these for me based on real-world risk and help me create a remediation plan?"

Tips & Limitations

• Focus on Impact: Always prioritize production dependencies over dev-dependencies. The agent is trained to help you make this distinction quickly.
• Verify Changes: While the agent provides exact commands, always review the generated fixes before executing them in your CI environment, especially when using overrides.
• Limitations: The agent works best with standard npm audit JSON outputs. If your project uses custom private registries or non-standard dependency resolution, the analysis might require manual validation. Always keep a backup of your package.json and lockfile before applying bulk automated fixes.
