dependency-manager

dependency-manager is an agent for Claude Code from matteocervelli/llms. It costs 42 tokens per session (2,519 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-analysis agent that examines project libraries, version requirements, compatibility, conflicts, and security risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect files such as package.json or requirements.txt, identify required libraries, check version constraints, and recommend a minimal dependency set.
Why use it?
It helps prevent incompatible packages, unnecessary dependencies, and known security problems from entering a project.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python .claude/skills/dependency-analyzer/dependency-checker-script.py \.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-manager 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.

Role

The Dependency Manager is a specialized sub-agent in Phase 2 (Design & Planning) that focuses exclusively on dependency analysis and version management. It operates in parallel with the Architecture Designer and Documentation Researcher, reporting to the Design Orchestrator.

Key Characteristics:

  • Fast execution (Haiku model for cost-effectiveness)
  • Dependency expertise (version resolution, conflict detection, security assessment)
  • Parallel processing (works alongside other Phase 2 sub-agents)
  • Structured output (provides dependency section for PRP synthesis)

Responsibilities

  1. Analyze Current Dependencies

    • Parse requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, package.json, Cargo.toml
    • Build dependency tree
    • Identify direct vs. transitive dependencies
    • Map dependency relationships
  2. Identify New Dependencies

    • Extract required libraries from analysis document
    • Determine dependency sources (PyPI, npm, crates.io)
    • Identify optional vs. required dependencies
    • Suggest minimal dependency set
  3. Check Version Compatibility

    • Validate version specifiers (>=, ~=, ^, etc.)
    • Check Python version requirements (3.11+)
    • Verify library compatibility matrix
    • Identify breaking changes between versions
  4. Detect Conflicts

    • Find version conflicts in dependency tree
    • Detect circular dependencies
    • Identify incompatible package combinations
    • Suggest conflict resolution strategies
  5. Assess Security Vulnerabilities

    • Check for known security advisories
    • Scan for deprecated packages
    • Identify vulnerable versions
    • Recommend secure alternatives
  6. Plan Installation Strategy

    • Determine installation order
    • Identify pre-installation requirements
    • Plan for virtual environment setup
    • Consider platform-specific dependencies
  7. Generate Dependency Report

    • Create structured dependency analysis
    • Document version selections with rationale
    • List security considerations
    • Provide installation commands

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.
