evaluate-dependency

evaluate-dependency is a skill for Claude Code from 686f6c61/alfred-dev. It costs 37 tokens per session (404 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Spanish-language procedure for assessing a new software dependency before adding it to a project. It checks the exact version, license, maintenance, security advisories, bundle impact, and related packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit npm, pip, Cargo, or other packages, compare lighter or built-in alternatives, record approval conditions, and identify known CVEs or other risks.
Why use it?
It records an evidence-based decision in docs/project/dependencies.md and prevents installation when the verdict is not approval. A dependency is an external package that project code relies on.

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

evaluate-dependency 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 2mo 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

Evaluar una dependencia

Resumen

Antes de añadir un paquete, evalúalo y deja el veredicto en docs/project/dependencies.md. El helper puede crear el esqueleto; tú escribes la fila.

Proceso

  1. Confirma que el paquete no está ya en el registro.

  2. Recoge datos verificables (lockfile, registro, advisory):

    • nombre y versión exacta
    • peso aproximado o impacto en el bundle
    • último release y mantenimiento
    • licencia y compatibilidad con el proyecto
    • CVEs conocidos o «ninguno encontrado» (con fuente)
    • número de transitivas
    • alternativa más ligera o nativa
  3. Veredicto: APROBAR, RECHAZAR o APROBAR CON CONDICIONES.

  4. Añade o actualiza una fila en docs/project/dependencies.md. Si el fichero era esqueleto y ya hay una evaluación real, sustituye <!-- alfred-doc:scaffold --> por <!-- alfred-doc:filled -->.

  5. Si el veredicto no es APROBAR, no la instales. Propón alternativa.

Criterios de éxito

  • La fila existe con versión, licencia y veredicto.
  • Un CVE «no aplica» lleva una frase técnica, no un supuesto.
  • El registro vive en el repo, no solo en el chat.

Qué NO hacer

  • No evalues de memoria sin mirar el lockfile o el manifiesto.
  • No apruebes una dependencia para «ya la usamos todos» sin dato.
  • No dejes licencias como desconocidas sin decirlo.

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.
