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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00044 | $0.00751 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.00300 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00150 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00075 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-management 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.

Dependency Management
Table of Contents
Overview
Comprehensive dependency management across JavaScript/Node.js, Python, Ruby, Java, and other ecosystems. Covers version control, conflict resolution, security auditing, and best practices for maintaining healthy dependencies.
When to Use
- Installing or updating project dependencies
- Resolving version conflicts
- Auditing security vulnerabilities
- Managing lock files (package-lock.json, Gemfile.lock, etc.)
- Implementing semantic versioning
- Setting up monorepo dependencies
- Optimizing dependency trees
- Managing peer dependencies
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
# Initialize project
npm init -y
# Install dependencies
npm install express
npm install --save-dev jest
npm install --save-exact lodash # Exact version
# Update dependencies
npm update
npm outdated # Check for outdated packages
# Audit security
npm audit
npm audit fix
# Clean install from lock file
npm ci # Use in CI/CD
# View dependency tree
npm list
npm list --depth=0 # Top-level only

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.

dependency-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts (376 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 44 tokens to every session and 751 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
