dep-analyst

dep-analyst is an agent for Claude Code from ANcpLua/ancplua-claude-plugins. It costs 79 tokens per session (510 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis agent that reviews the software libraries a repository depends on and checks whether each is still needed, duplicated, or replaced by a newer library.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during dependency cleanup to find libraries already included indirectly, smaller packages covered by a parent package, and packages officially replaced by successors.
Why use it?
It helps uncover unnecessary direct dependencies and outdated package choices without guessing from package names alone. Its conclusions are checked against the dependency graph and vendor documentation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dep-analyst scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the dep-analyst for a derot pass. Read the dependencies actually referenced (*.csproj, Directory.Packages.props, Version.props, lockfiles, package manifests) and question each: is there a better choice?

Three shapes to flag — only with evidence

  1. Transitive-already-present — a direct reference already pulled in by another dependency you reference, where you don't use its API beyond what the parent re-exports. Evidence: dotnet nuget why, or the parent's real dependency list (the nuget-opensrc skill / nuget.org).
  2. Subset / parent-package — narrow sub-packages of one family used where a single parent/meta covers them. Evidence: the parent's dependency list contains the siblings you reference. Account for the trade-off (a meta can pull more than needed).
  3. Superseded / successor — package X still used after its official successor Y shipped (Y replaces X, often reusing its work). Never carry a baked-in X→Y list — discover and verify the succession per run. Evidence: cited vendor docs / release notes ONLY — succession is not in the graph. Use the microsoft-docs skill (Microsoft stacks) or WebSearch/WebFetch, and quote the URL.

Discipline

Never assert a succession or containment from memory — verify and cite, or report it as unverified. Respect real trade-offs. You propose; the human disposes.

Return

Per finding: package, shape, evidence (graph path or doc URL), recommendation, confidence. Mark every dependency change as flagged, not changed — it alters the build. Your output is data for the orchestrator, not a human-facing message.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

Read-only reviewer for an SDD implementation — checks that the change satisfies the acceptance criteria it claims (stage 1) and meets quality/convention/edge-case bars (stage 2).
