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.

SkillSpector: 13 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00118 | $0.03636 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00059 | $0.01818 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00727 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00364 |
Grade A, and why
monorepo-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 12d 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 — 243 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
/monorepo-deps
Run the full syncpack + manypkg flow on an npm monorepo: check version mismatches, fix what's auto-fixable, bump deps via npm update with handler-set major caps in root overrides, verify, and maintain the .syncpackrc.json that governs all of this. One skill covers the whole loop. Use the underlying single-purpose skills (syncpack-usage, syncpack-cli, syncpack-config, manypkg-usage) when you need API or config detail beyond what this orchestrator carries inline.
Structured execution spec:
protocol.yon. Read it for the canonical rules and step sequence; this file is explanation. The two must stay in sync — if you edit one, update the other and refresh the@STAMPdate.
Boundary
Use /monorepo-deps for the end-to-end loop on an npm workspaces monorepo: check + fix + update + lock-resync + config maintenance. Use the per-tool reference skills directly when you need a specific command surface:
syncpack-usage— overview, decision gate, version-group behaviorssyncpack-cli— every CLI flag, glob syntax, --dependency-types valuessyncpack-config—.syncpackrc.jsonschema reference (versionGroups, semverGroups, customTypes)manypkg-usage— manypkg CLI + rule names (EXTERNAL_MISMATCH, INTERNAL_MISMATCH, …)
This skill assumes npm (not pnpm or yarn). For pnpm/yarn monorepos the syncpack story is the same but the lock-file commands differ — adapt as needed.
Phase 1 — Detect prerequisites
Before doing anything, check whether syncpack and @manypkg/cli are installed in the target repo. The skill's behavior splits on this:
| State | Action |
|---|---|
| Both installed | Proceed silently to Phase 2 — no asking, no install |
| One or both missing | Stop. Explain to the user what each tool does + why useful (see prose below), then ASK with a single decision: install + continue, or abort. On reject → stop. On accept → install as root devDeps, then continue. |
Detection: read the root package.json and check devDependencies for syncpack and @manypkg/cli. (Don't shell out for this — the file is cheap to read.)
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

monorepo-deps is a skill published in the GitHub repository allemaar/open-skills (14 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 118 tokens to every session and 3,636 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
