kicad-tools: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/repo/deps.md

deps is a command for Claude Code from rjwalters/kicad-tools. It costs 33 tokens per session (7,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking and managing third-party dependency updates, including npm, pip, Cargo, Go packages, and GitHub Actions. It also checks Dependabot, GitHub's automated dependency-update service, and its open pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify Dependabot configuration, check the repository's security-update setting, and review open Dependabot pull requests. The check-only option reports status without changing files or repository settings.
Why use it?
Dependency updates involve both repository configuration and decisions about whether proposed changes are safe to take. This command separates status reporting from applying changes and requires confirmation before writes or merges.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

This is rjwalters/kicad-tools's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kicad-tools itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kicad-tools configures →

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is ./.loom/scripts/merge-pr.sh <N> # Loom repos.

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 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Subtle steeringlowPrompt injection

Instructions that bias recommendations or shape behaviour without the user noticing.

regardless of `interval: weekly`. Never tell the user to "expect your first PR

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 589 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/repo:deps — Third-Party Dependency Currency

Keep the repo's third-party dependencies current: npm / pip / cargo / Go packages and GitHub Actions. Two halves, usually run together:

  1. Install / verify Dependabot — the config file and the repo-level security-updates flag, which are two independent things.
  2. Triage open Dependabot PRs — what each one is, whether it's risky, and whether to take it.

This is the companion to [[update-tools]], not a part of it. update-tools compares installer-managed tool packages (Loom, Anvil, Repo Skills) against a local source clone; there is no source clone to diff for Dependabot, and "triage incoming bot PRs" is a different activity from "update an installed package." Keeping them separate keeps update-tools' comparison model intact.

Everything here either writes repo config, flips a repository setting, or merges a PR — so like release, remote, followups, and update-tools, this command always confirms first and never auto-applies. --check is the report-only form.

Usage

/repo:deps                  # Report status + open Dependabot PRs, then offer actions
/repo:deps --check          # Report only — never writes, never merges
/repo:deps --install        # Only the install/verify half (config + security flag)
/repo:deps --review         # Only the PR-triage half
/repo:deps --review 123     # Triage one PR in depth

Prerequisites

Dependabot is a GitHub feature. Confirm the repo is on GitHub before doing anything else — if origin points at Gitea or another forge, say so and stop rather than scaffolding config that will never run:

git config --get remote.origin.url    # → derive OWNER/REPO; must be a GitHub host
gh auth status

Steps — install / verify

1. Report config and the security flag as two distinct items

Writing .github/dependabot.yml enables version updates only. Dependabot security updates are a repository setting that is entirely independent — a repo can have a perfectly good config file and still have CVE alerting off. Check and report both:

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.

deps is a command published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (56 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 7,183 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (subtle steering). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
