validate-dependencies

A project check that reviews task dependencies—links showing which tasks must happen before others.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check task relationships, identify the critical path, spot bottlenecks, and get suggestions for simplifying the plan.
Why use it?
It finds broken links, circular dependencies, impossible task sequences, and dependency bottlenecks before they disrupt work.

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.

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

validate-dependencies 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to validate-dependencies — 7 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Validate all task dependencies for issues.

Dependency Validation

Comprehensive check for dependency problems across the entire project.

Execution

task-master validate-dependencies

Validation Checks

  1. Circular Dependencies

    • A depends on B, B depends on A
    • Complex circular chains
    • Self-dependencies
  2. Missing Dependencies

    • References to non-existent tasks
    • Deleted task references
    • Invalid task IDs
  3. Logical Issues

    • Completed tasks depending on pending
    • Cancelled tasks in dependency chains
    • Impossible sequences
  4. Complexity Warnings

    • Over-complex dependency chains
    • Too many dependencies per task
    • Bottleneck tasks

Smart Analysis

The validation provides:

  • Visual dependency graph
  • Critical path analysis
  • Bottleneck identification
  • Suggested optimizations

Report Format

Dependency Validation Report
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ No circular dependencies found
⚠️  2 warnings found:
   - Task #23 has 7 dependencies (consider breaking down)
   - Task #45 blocks 5 other tasks (potential bottleneck)
❌ 1 error found:
   - Task #67 depends on deleted task #66

Critical Path: #1 → #5 → #23 → #45 → #50 (15 days)

Actionable Output

For each issue found:

  • Clear description
  • Impact assessment
  • Suggested fix
  • Command to resolve

Next Steps

After validation:

  • Run /project:tm/fix-dependencies to auto-fix
  • Manually adjust problematic dependencies
  • Rerun to verify fixes

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.

validate-dependencies is a command published in the GitHub repository asachs01/float-mcp (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 348 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to validate-dependencies, differing in 7 lines, and is treated as a copy.
