/dependencycheck — ChatGPT Prompt Guide

Explore the /dependencycheck custom ChatGPT prompt shortcut with a practical template, examples, and review steps. Learn how to refine outputs for your workflow.

What does /dependencycheck do?

Purpose: Audit a Node.js project's dependency and supply-chain exposure.

This is a custom prompt convention, not a built-in or official ChatGPT slash command. Entering the slash text alone does not guarantee that ChatGPT will invoke a special tool. Use the complete structured prompt below or configure your own app to interpret this shortcut.

Key decision for this workflow

Differentiate direct from transitive packages; check reachability and available patched versions.

Copy-ready task brief

/dependencycheck Objective: Audit a Node.js project's dependency and supply-chain exposure. Inputs: package.json, lockfile, license policy, and vulnerability advisory outputs. Deliverable: A prioritized dependency register with remediation owners and upgrade tests.

Reusable prompt template

/dependencycheck Objective: Audit a Node.js project's dependency and supply-chain exposure. Available materials: package.json, lockfile, license policy, and vulnerability advisory outputs. Required output: A prioritized dependency register with remediation owners and upgrade tests. Acceptance test: Differentiate direct from transitive packages; check reachability and available patched versions. Boundary: A CVE severity score alone does not establish exploitability; test major-version upgrades before deployment. Return the requested deliverable first, then a brief verification checklist and any unresolved questions.

How to use this shortcut

  1. Collect the source inputs: package.json, lockfile, license policy, and vulnerability advisory outputs.
  2. Run /dependencycheck with the copy-ready task brief above.
  3. Request the concrete output: A prioritized dependency register with remediation owners and upgrade tests.
  4. Check the result: Differentiate direct from transitive packages; check reachability and available patched versions.

Quality checks and limitations

Acceptance criteria: Differentiate direct from transitive packages; check reachability and available patched versions. Limitation: A CVE severity score alone does not establish exploitability; test major-version upgrades before deployment.

Frequently asked questions

Is /dependencycheck an official ChatGPT command? No. It is a reusable custom shorthand from this catalog. Does it work without a plugin? You can copy the full prompt into an assistant; automatic slash-command routing requires application logic. Can the output be trusted without review? No. Review accuracy, safety, and suitability before use.

Worked scenario and review
