Capabilities

  • Exposes CLI binary via bin/uuid
  • Includes implementations for UUID v1/v3/v35/v5/v6/v7 and utilities
  • Runs build/test/lint scripts including prepare hook for lefthook

How ShadowCanopy checks npm packages

ShadowCanopy blocks every dependency by default and only lets through what it can verify — against live malicious-package advisories, an AI behavior scan, and a byte-for-byte hash check. It protects installs across npm, PyPI, crates.io, pkg.go.dev, RubyGems, Maven Central, NuGet, Packagist, Hex, pub.dev, Swift Package Manager.
