deps

deps is a command for coding agents from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,757 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-management command for checking, surveying, and upgrading the external packages a project uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit vulnerabilities, find outdated packages, and apply safe patch or minor upgrades, including across selected repositories.
Why use it?
It shows which packages have security problems or newer versions and controls upgrades through a cautious one-change-at-a-time process.

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.

npx agentmods add commands/higoralves/orc/deps
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HigorAlves/orc

Or install orc, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 80 skills, 30 commands, 14 agents, 5 hooks.

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

deps 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 5d 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 — 132 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/orc:deps

Dependency hygiene for the current repo: what's vulnerable, what's behind, and how to move — safely. Doctrine lives in orc:dependency-management (invoke it first; its references/ carry the exact per-ecosystem commands).

Arguments

  • audit (default) — scan for vulnerabilities, report severity-ranked, offer the upgrade loop for fixables.
  • outdated — survey what's behind; recommend a safe batch.
  • upgrade [pkg | --all-safe] — run the one-bump-per-commit loop for a named package, or for every safe (patch/minor, in-range) bump.
  • --prod-only — audit/survey production dependencies only.
  • --repos a,b / --repo a / --all-repos / --this-repo — workspace-mode targeting. See orc:workspace-mode.

Workflow

Phase 0 — Detect context

!orc-workspace-detect --banner

Context is injected above (ORC_* vars are exported for any Bash you run — do not re-run detection). In workspace mode, resolve target repos from flags or AskUserQuestion — iron rule: no silent broadcast. Each target repo gets its own report/loop.

Phase 1 — Resolve verb + ecosystems

$verb is the first argument (audit when empty). Invoke orc:dependency-management and detect ecosystems by lockfile/manifest presence (package-lock.json/pnpm-lock.yaml/yarn.lock, requirements.txt/uv.lock/poetry.lock, go.mod, Cargo.lock). Check command -v osv-scanner — prefer it when installed; else the native scanner per the matching references/ file. A repo can hit multiple ecosystems — run all that match.

Phase 2 — audit (default)

  1. Run the scanner(s) per orc:dependency-management. Uncommitted lockfile changes → surface first (git status), don't audit a dirty tree silently.
  2. Render the severity-ranked report (critical → high → moderate → low): package, installed, fixed-in, advisory id, bump class (patch/minor/major), prod vs dev. When criticals exist, lead with:
> **🛑 Critical vulnerabilities**
>
> <N> critical finding(s): <pkg@version — advisory id, one per line>. Fix or mitigate before shipping anything from this branch.

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.
