Fixes the Help center search problem where Exact error message pasted into help center search finds nothing by applying the specific fix in the steps, proving it on one article, collection or query first, then confirming readers see the correction. Use when this exact symptom blocks readers or agents in the help cente…
Replace the invented names with names copied from the resolver and feature listing for the correct namespace, and make the agent reject any feature name that the listing does not contain before querying, because the query failed on names that sound plausible but were never registered in that namespace. Use when you se…
Builds an authenticated EF Core employee directory that returns only a minimal public DTO: exclusion of blocked and system accounts before search and counting, server-side Select projection with no admin fields, an allowlisted sort with an id tie-breaker, and clamped pagination. Use when a directory endpoint returns u…
Detects punycode domain phishing that slipped past URL scanning, by decoding IDN domains and comparing them with protected brands. Use when a link uses an xn-- encoded domain to impersonate a brand. Not for legitimate internationalised domains with no brand resemblance.
Catches homoglyph domain spoofs that a mail filter missed, using Unicode confusable detection and display-name and domain impersonation checks. Use when a phish used lookalike characters in the sender domain. Not for plain typosquat domains using only ASCII letters.
Triages the npm audit block from node-forge GHSA-86w9-cpqp-85rv (CVE-2026-85393) in Nuxt apps, where node-forge arrives through nitropack and listhen and no patched release exists. Shows proving the chain, checking whether RSA signature verification is reachable, recording a time-boxed single-advisory audit exception,…
Rotates a leaked npm token across every registry that honors it: the public registry, mirrors, and proxies. It covers revoking at the source, updating CI, and verifying the old token is dead. Not for registry downtime.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - exposed database password value rotation failed across services - agent failed to revoke the leaked token - dashboard api changed
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: leaked npm token: rotation failed across registries

Stops npm from publishing .env and other secret files by configuring .npmignore or the files whitelist, verifying with a dry run, and rotating anything already published. Not for registry auth issues.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's pre-merge checklist ran npm audit but the advisory DB was three days stale - the CVE was already published - bun install: Integrity check failed for package after migrating from npm
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: npm publish included .env: prepublish check failed

Use when CVE grouping by display name splits one library's findings across its old and new names. Covers PURL-based canonical identity, maintaining a rename-alias map, and fixing the remediation to cover both. Not for genuinely distinct libraries.
Recovers from npm audit fix dying mid-run with ERESOLVE: restoring the lockfile from git, reinstalling clean, and applying the security fixes one package at a time instead of letting audit fix rewrite the tree blindly. Use when audit fix breaks the tree with peer-dependency conflicts. Not for ERESOLVE on plain npm ins…
Diagnoses npm audit disagreeing between local and CI: the two runs query different registries (or different metadata snapshots), so advisory data differs. Covers comparing registry configs, clearing stale caches, and pinning both sides to the same registry. Use when local and CI audit counts diverge. Not for lockfile …
Explains why osv-scanner --recursive comes back empty on yarn v4 (berry) monorepos: the v4 lockfile format is not parsed, so the scan silently covers nothing. Covers scanning package.json manifests explicitly and confirming parsed counts. Use when osv-scanner finds nothing in a yarn berry repo. Not for genuinely clean…
Shows how to reconcile different vulnerability counts from npm audit and snyk on the same package.json. Use it when two scanners disagree on how many vulnerabilities a Node project has. Key trigger: npm audit and snyk reporting different counts for the same manifest.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - npm audit reports 6 vulnerabilities but snyk reports 11 for the same package.json - reconciling the counts - npm supply chain: how to audit your lockfile
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: npm audit reports 6 vulnerabilities but snyk reports 11 for the same packag

Debugs npm ERR 404 Not Found for private packages in CI, covering registry config, scoped auth tokens, and lockfile drift. Reach for it when npm install can see public packages but not the private one.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - gyp ERR! stack Error: not found: make" - node-gyp rebuild failed during npm upgrade in CI - Anthropic 404 not_found_error: check the path, the IDs, and whether the model still exists
Problem outcome: unknown
Public search query: npm ERR! 404 Not Found for a private package in CI: registry debugging

Fixes bun install: Integrity check failed for package after migrating a project from npm to bun. Use it when bun rejects a package because node_modules or the lockfile still carries npm-era files. Key trigger: integrity check failures immediately after the npm-to-bun switch.
