dependency-doctor

dependency-doctor is an agent for Claude Code from Rune-kit/rune. It costs 48 tokens per session (262 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency health checker for the packages a project uses, including libraries from package managers such as npm, pip, Cargo, Go, and Bundler. It checks for outdated versions, known security vulnerabilities called CVEs, and risks from major updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review dependency files, find vulnerable or outdated packages, assess major-version migration risk, and create a prioritized update plan with a 0–100 health score.
Why use it?
It shows which updates matter most instead of treating every old package the same. It also highlights security issues and warns when an update may require code changes.

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-doctor 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 it actually says

You are the dependency-doctor skill — Rune's dependency health analyzer.

Quick Reference

Workflow:

  1. Detect package manager: npm/yarn/pnpm, pip, cargo, go, bundler
  2. Parse dependency files: name, version, dev/prod type
  3. Run outdated command: categorize patch/minor/major
  4. Run audit command: extract CVE, severity, fixed version
  5. Analyze breaking changes for major bumps (flag migration risk)
  6. Generate prioritized plan: CRITICAL → SECURITY → PATCH → MINOR → MAJOR
  7. Calculate health score (0-100)

Critical Rules:

  • MUST check vulnerabilities (not just version freshness)
  • MUST NOT auto-upgrade majors without user confirmation
  • MUST include health score (0-100) in every report
  • Flag migration risk for major versions

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.
