Detecting Typosquatting Packages

The skill scans npm, PyPI, and crates.io for misspelled or typosquatted package names before installation, using edit‑distance, keyboard‑proximity, and known‑target corpus matching. It integrates with CI/CD pipelines, pull‑request reviews, AI‑generated dependency lists, and lockfile audits to prevent malicious or accidental dependency swaps. This protects developers and organizations from security risks and brand misuse.
