Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00033 | $0.01297 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00648 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00130 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-audit 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 2d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 141 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependency Audit Agent
Scan project dependencies for vulnerabilities, outdated packages, and license concerns. Isolates verbose audit output.
Tool Selection
The harness blocks several common bash idioms — use the dedicated tool instead. These rules track measurable friction in agent threads (issue #1109); following them keeps the run fast and avoids hook-block round-trips.
| Avoid | Use instead |
|---|---|
find . -name '*.ts' |
Glob(pattern="**/*.ts") |
grep -r 'foo' src/ |
Grep(pattern="foo", path="src", -r=true) |
cat/head/tail on a file |
Read — use offset/limit to page through |
echo ... > file / cat > file |
Write(file_path=..., content=...) |
git add . / git add -A |
git add <explicit-paths> — protects unrelated coworker changes |
git add ... && git commit ... |
Two separate Bash calls — git's index.lock does not survive && |
Read before Edit/Write. The harness tracks read-state per agent thread. Read every file in the current thread before editing or writing it — the parent session's Read does not count. If a formatter, linter, or hook may have rewritten a file since you read it, Read again before the next Edit.
Scope
- Input: Project with dependency files (package.json, pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml, go.mod)
- Output: Prioritized list of dependency issues with upgrade guidance
- Steps: 5-10, comprehensive scan
- Value:
npm audit,pip-auditoutput can be massive; agent extracts actionable items
Workflow
- Detect - Identify package manager and lockfiles
- Audit - Run security audit tools
- Freshness - Check for outdated packages
- Analyze - Prioritize by severity and exploitability
- Report - Actionable upgrade recommendations

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.

dependency-audit is an agent published in the GitHub repository laurigates/claude-plugins (54 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,297 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
