dependency-reviewer

dependency-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from arbiterForge/codeArbiter. It costs 52 tokens per session (771 once invoked), scanned A, original, AGPL-3.0.

A software agent that reviews dependency and container-image changes before they are merged. It checks licensing, origin, maintenance signals, and supply-chain risk against project security rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when package.json, lock files, or container base images change. It compares those changes with the project’s security-controls.md and tech-stack.md files.
Why use it?
It helps catch risky or poorly maintained packages and base images before they enter the project. This reduces manual review work and makes dependency decisions consistent.

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

dependency-reviewer 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 1mo 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 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.
