# Screen packages and agent skill repos for malware and supply-chain risk before adoption with SafeDep Vet

Use SafeDep Vet as a pre-adoption gate when an agent, maintainer, or CI pipeline is about to add a new dependency or import a skill repository and needs malware and policy signals first.

## Prerequisites

SafeDep Vet CLI, repository or manifest access, optional SafeDep Cloud account for advanced malware analysis

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install vet via Homebrew, npm, or a prebuilt binary, then run vet scan against the target directory, repository, SBOM, or --agent-skill repo before allowing that package or skill into the workflow.
```
