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.

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 | $0.00034 | $0.00358 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00143 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00072 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00036 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-guard 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 24d 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
Dependency Guard
Blast-radius control for project dependencies, preventing unapproved package bloat and banned libraries.
When to Use This Skill
- An AI agent edits
package.jsonto install or modify dependencies. - A project enforces a zero-new-dependencies policy unless explicitly requested by the user.
- A team wants to enforce bans on bloated or deprecated libraries (
moment,request).
Path resolution
Resolve references/ and scripts/ relative to this skill's install directory (e.g. .agents/skills/dependency-guard/ or .claude/skills/dependency-guard/).
Workflow
- Read
references/dependency-contract.mdto review allowed vs. banned criteria. - Run the dependency guard against git changes:
# Check git working tree changes against HEAD
node scripts/dependency-guard.mjs --git
# Allow specific user-authorized new packages
node scripts/dependency-guard.mjs --git --allow "zod,dotenv"
# Run with JSON output for automated agent ingestion
node scripts/dependency-guard.mjs --git --json
- If the guard detects unauthorized packages:
- Remove the package from
package.json. - Implement the feature using native language runtime utilities or existing packages.
- Re-run until the command exits with code 0.
- Remove the package from
Done When
scripts/dependency-guard.mjsexits with code 0.- Zero unauthorized or banned packages are introduced.
What ships with it
3 files 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.

dependency-guard is a skill published in the GitHub repository ALTEN-group/coding-pal (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 358 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-24.
