Use to approve a dep after phx-deps-audit\nfindings or to initialize hex_vet.exs.</h2>\n<h1>Deps Vet — Hex package audit ledger</h1>\n<p>Review a Hex package version, run Phase 1 supply-chain rules against it,\nprompt the user for a verdict, append the result to <code>hex_vet.exs</code>\n(project-root audit ledger). Vetted versions get downgraded to <code>INFO</code>\non subsequent <code>phx-deps-audit</code> runs.</p>\n<p>Run this AFTER <code>phx-deps-audit</code> to clear findings.\nRun this BEFORE merging a <code>mix.lock</code> PR to certify new versions.</p>\n<h2>Usage</h2>\n<pre><code>phx-deps-vet phoenix 1.7.21      # vet a single package version\nphx-deps-vet --seed              # import curated baseline seed (~30 pkgs)\nphx-deps-vet --list              # show existing ledger entries\nphx-deps-vet --check             # cross-check mix.lock vs ledger\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Iron Laws</h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>NEVER auto-approve.</strong> Every entry MUST come from an <code>AskUserQuestion</code>\nconfirmation. Drive-by trust ruins the ledger's value.</li>\n<li><strong>Lock wins on disagreement.</strong> If <code>mix.lock</code> has version X and the\nledger vets X-1, emit INFO and treat X as unvetted. Don't silently\ntrust the older entry.</li>\n<li><strong>Ledger lives at project root.</strong> <code>hex_vet.exs</code> is a first-class\nsecurity artifact, visible in PR review. Don't move it into <code>.claude/</code>.</li>\n<li><strong>Round-trip via <code>inspect/2</code>.</strong> When appending, read the file with\n<code>Code.eval_file/1</code>, mutate the map, and write back via\n<code>inspect(term, pretty: true, limit: :infinity)</code>. Hand-rolled string\nappends drift over time.</li>\n<li><strong>Always show findings before prompting.</strong> The user must see what's\nbeing vetted. No silent <code>:safe_to_deploy</code> defaults.</li>\n<li><strong>Confirmation counts are COMPUTED, never estimated.</strong> Any number in\nan <code>AskUserQuestion</code> (criteria split, new/overwrite/no-op) MUST be\nderived from the loaded data <em>before</em> prompting — e.g.\n<code>Enum.frequencies_by(seed.audits, &amp; &amp;1.criteria)</code>. Eyeballing the\nfile and approving on wrong numbers corrupts the consent.</li>\n</ol>\n<h2>Execution flow</h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Locate or seed <code>hex_vet.exs</code></h3>\n<pre><code>If hex_vet.exs exists at project root:\n    Read it via Code.eval_file/1\nElse:\n    Write the empty-ledger stub (see references/hex-vet.md §\"Empty ledger\")\n    Inform user: \"Created hex_vet.exs at project root.\"\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Step 2: Branch by mode</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><code>&lt;pkg&gt; &lt;version&gt;</code></strong> → single-vet path (Step 3-7).</li>\n<li><strong><code>--seed</code></strong> → import <code>priv/hex_vet_seed.exs</code>. Before prompting,\n<code>Code.eval_file/1</code> the seed and <strong>compute</strong> (Iron Law #6): the\n<code>criteria</code> split (<code>Enum.frequencies_by(seed.audits, &amp; &amp;1.criteria)</code>)\nand, against any existing ledger, exact new / overwrite / no-op\ncounts. Put those computed numbers in the <code>AskUserQuestion</code>. Also\nstate up front that the seed is a <strong>provenance baseline, not\ncertification of your current <code>mix.lock</code></strong> (per Iron Law #2, seed\nversions older than the locked ones stay unvetted). Ask before\noverwriting existing entries.</li>\n<li><strong><code>--list</code></strong> → render the audits table; exit.</li>\n<li><strong><code>--check</code></strong> → compare ledger entries with <code>mix.lock</code>; warn on\ndrift. Read the lock via <code>Code.eval_file(\"mix.lock\")</code> with\n<strong><code>2&gt;/dev/null</code></strong> — modern locks have quoted keys and emit a\n<code>found quoted keyword</code> warning per package (tens of KB of noise that\ngets persisted as an oversized tool result otherwise).</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Step 3: Fetch the tarball (single-vet)</h3>\n<p>Run the deps-audit corpus loader. Cache lives at\n<code>~/.cache/phx-deps-audit/corpus/&lt;pkg&gt;/&lt;version&gt;/contents/</code>. Use:</p>\n<pre><code>bash ../phx-deps-audit/scripts/fetch_tarball.sh \\\n    &lt;pkg&gt; &lt;version&gt;\n</code></pre>\n<h3>Step 4: Run Phase 1 rules</h3>\n<p>Source the rules from <code>../phx-deps-audit/references/rules-impl.md</code>.\nRun <code>run_all_rules</code> over the cached dir. Write findings to a temp\n<code>vet-findings.jsonl</code>. Set <code>FINDINGS_FILE</code> to override default path.</p>\n<h3>Step 5: Present findings</h3>\n<p>Print the findings table per <code>../phx-deps-audit/references/output-renderer.md</code>.\nOn zero findings: say \"No findings — vet from a clean baseline.\"\nOn any finding: show severity, file, line, snippet inline.</p>\n<h3>Step 6: Prompt for verdict</h3>\n<p>Call <code>AskUserQuestion</code> with these 4 options:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><code>:safe_to_deploy</code></strong> — full trust; findings investigated and cleared.</li>\n<li><strong><code>:safe_to_run</code></strong> — trust in non-production envs only (test deps).</li>\n<li><strong><code>:does_not_implement_crypto</code></strong> — Mozilla-style sub-criterion.</li>\n<li><strong><code>Skip</code></strong> — defer decision; don't write an entry.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If any finding is BLOCK severity: default-highlight <code>Skip</code>. Require\nexplicit override before writing <code>:safe_to_deploy</code> over a BLOCK.</p>\n<h3>Step 7: Append to ledger</h3>\n<p>Read existing <code>hex_vet.exs</code> via <code>Code.eval_file/1</code>. Append the audit\nmap below to <code>:audits</code>. Write back via\n<code>Code.format_string!(inspect(...))</code>.</p>\n<pre><code>%{\n  package: \"&lt;pkg&gt;\",\n  version: \"&lt;version&gt;\",\n  criteria: &lt;verdict_atom&gt;,\n  reviewer: \"&lt;git config user.email&gt;\",\n  notes: \"&lt;user-provided one-liner OR findings summary&gt;\",\n  reviewed_at: ~D[&lt;today&gt;]\n}\n</code></pre>\n<p>Write back via <code>Code.format_string!(inspect(term, pretty: true))</code>.\nConfirm to user: \"Added <code>&lt;pkg&gt;</code> <code>&lt;version&gt;</code> to hex_vet.exs.\"</p>\n<h2>Integration</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Run after</strong> <code>phx-deps-audit</code> to clear vetted findings.</li>\n<li><strong>Run before</strong> merging a <code>mix.lock</code> PR to certify new versions.</li>\n<li><strong>Run <code>phx-deps-vet --check</code></strong> to detect ledger drift vs <code>mix.lock</code>.</li>\n<li><strong><code>phx-deps-audit</code></strong> auto-downgrades vetted findings to INFO.</li>\n<li><strong><code>policy.block_on_unvetted</code></strong> is enforced by the plugin's <code>deps-audit-gate.sh</code>\nPreToolUse hook on <code>mix deps.get</code> / <code>mix deps.update</code>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>References</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><code>references/hex-vet.md</code> — schema, parser, lookup</li>\n<li><code>references/seed.md</code> — <code>--seed</code> flag, curated baseline</li>\n<li><code>../phx-deps-audit/references/rules-impl.md</code> — the\nsame rules <code>phx-deps-audit</code> runs</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Out of scope (Phase 3+)</h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mix task surface</strong> — defer <code>mix phx.deps_vet</code> to a separate Hex\npackage <code>phx_deps_vet</code> for non-CC users.</li>\n<li><strong>Distributed imports</strong> — defer cargo-vet <code>imports:</code> until\ntrust-chain semantics are designed.</li>\n</ul>\n","files":[{"path":"priv/hex_vet_seed.exs","sizeBytes":7553,"isText":false},{"path":"references/hex-vet.md","sizeBytes":11455,"isText":true},{"path":"references/seed.md","sizeBytes":4539,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":5989,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
