+### Scan for vulnerable dependencies
+
+Modern software is built on open-source dependencies, but this can introduce security risks if a dependency contains vulnerabilities.
+
+Regularly running a dependency scan is a critical step in securing your software supply chain and protecting your project from well-known attack vectors.
+
+The `/scan-deps` command automates this process by integrating [OSV-Scanner](https://github.com/google/osv-scanner), a tool that cross-references your project's dependencies with [OSV.dev](https://osv.dev/), a Google-maintained, open-source vulnerability database. OSV.dev provides precise vulnerability data by aggregating information from a wide range of open-source ecosystems, ensuring comprehensive and reliable security advisories.
+
+To run a dependency scan, use the following command:
+```bash
+/scan-deps
+```
+
+After running the command, you will receive a report listing:
+- **Which dependencies are vulnerable.**
+- **Details about the specific vulnerabilities**, including their severity and identifiers (like CVEs).
+- **Guidance on how to remediate the issues**, such as which version to upgrade to.
