vendor-update

vendor-update is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from apache/skywalking-banyandb. It costs 95 tokens per session (889 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided procedure for upgrading Go and Node.js dependencies across a multi-project repository. It also updates dependency licence information and checks whether tool versions need to change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when updating packages, refreshing vendored dependencies, synchronising Go module versions, or checking build-tool version drift.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of upgrading libraries without updating related licence files or bundled development tools.

About the project

Apache SkyWalking BanyanDB is a database for collecting, analyzing, and storing metrics, traces, and logs produced by observability and application-performance systems. It is intended for platforms such as Apache SkyWalking that need to work with monitoring data.

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

vendor-update 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 yesterday.

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 — 72 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Upgrade vendor dependencies

Run the vendor-update Make target across all projects:

make vendor-update

This runs go get -u ./... and go mod tidy -compat=1.25 in each project directory (ui, banyand, bydbctl, mcp, fodc/agent, fodc/proxy, pkg, test).

Update license dependencies

After the vendor upgrade completes, run make license-dep to update any license-related files that may have changed due to new or updated dependencies:

make license-dep

This ensures license headers and dependency license files stay in sync with the upgraded vendors.

Check for tool version drift

After upgrading, compare go.mod dependency versions against scripts/build/version.mk to find any tools whose library version was bumped and may need their tool version updated.

Version mapping

Read scripts/build/version.mk and go.mod in parallel. For each tool version variable, check if the corresponding library in go.mod was upgraded:

version.mk variable Binary go.mod package
BUF_VERSION bin/buf github.com/bufbuild/buf (if present)
PROTOC_GEN_GO_VERSION bin/protoc-gen-go google.golang.org/protobuf

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.
