Socket Brings Supply Chain Security to skills.sh
Socket is now scanning AI agent skills across multiple languages and ecosystems, detecting malicious behavior before developers install, starting with skills.sh's 60,000+ skills.
Audit your machine to generate a list of the npm packages you use most.
faves is a command line tool. Give it a directory and it will find every package.json file that is not inside a node_modules or .git directory. It inspects the dependencies property of each file and keeps a running tally of dependencies. When it's done, a list npm packages names is printed to stdout, sorted by count.
If you run faves without passing a directory argument, it will default to ~. This will probably be a bit slow, but you'll get results for npm project on your machine!
Download node at nodejs.org and install it, if you haven't already.
npm install faves --global
# Audit all top-level package.json files in ~
# (ignoring node_modules directories)
audit
# Audit a specific directory
audit ~/projects
