check-deps

check-deps is a command for coding agents from wittyreference/twilio-claude-plugin. It costs 22 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for checking outdated dependencies across multiple package.json files, which list a project's JavaScript packages and their versions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking dependency freshness, applying updates within declared version ranges, compiling TypeScript, building the MCP server, and reviewing major upgrade concerns.
Why use it?
It shows which packages need updates and separates safe version bumps from major upgrades that may require migration work. It can also verify TypeScript and MCP builds after updates.

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

check-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 3d 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

Check all package.json files for outdated dependencies and apply safe bumps.

Check

Run ./scripts/check-deps.sh --force to bypass cache and check now. Report the output to the user.

Then read the digest file at .update-cache/deps-digest.md and present the findings.

Apply Safe Bumps

If the user wants to apply safe bumps (within declared semver range):

  1. Run npm update in each directory that has outdated packages
  2. For TypeScript packages, verify compilation: npx tsc --noEmit
  3. For the MCP server (twilio/), also run npm run build
  4. Commit all lock file changes with a descriptive message listing what was bumped

Major Upgrades

For packages with major version jumps, present them separately with a recommendation:

  • Review changelog — link to the package's changelog/release notes
  • Check breaking changes — note known migration concerns
  • Defer or adopt — recommend based on risk vs. benefit

Known major upgrade concerns:

  • jest 29→30: Test runner migration, possible config changes
  • typescript 5→6: Compiler changes, check tsconfig.json compat
  • zod 3→4: Schema API changes, affects MCP server + feature-factory
  • dotenv 16→17: Requires quiet: true to suppress stdout logging
  • @anthropic-ai/sdk 0.x: Pre-1.0, any minor bump can break

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.
