Use when auditing dependencies, checking for CVEs, cleaning up go.mod, upgrading modules, or evaluating third-party packages. Trigger examples: "check dependencies", "audit deps", "go.mod review", "update modules", "vulnerability scan", "govulncheck". Do NOT use for code-level security issues (use go-security-audit) or architecture review (use go-architecture-review).
