dependency-resolver is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 72 tokens per session (4,353 once invoked), scanned B, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for examining the software packages a project needs, including packages used indirectly by other packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to investigate failed installs or deployments, check package updates and versions, audit project dependencies, and identify security risks.
Why use it?
It finds missing packages, incompatible versions, dependency conflicts, circular dependencies, platform problems, known security vulnerabilities, and license issues before deployment.

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 B, and why

dependency-resolver scanned grade B with 2 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 9d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

sudo apt-get install build-essential python3

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

Dependency Resolver

Analyze, manage, and resolve software dependencies to ensure safe and successful deployments. Identifies conflicts, security vulnerabilities, version mismatches, and missing dependencies.

Core Capabilities

1. Dependency Analysis

Examine project dependencies:

  • Direct dependencies - Packages explicitly required
  • Transitive dependencies - Dependencies of dependencies
  • Dev dependencies - Development-only packages
  • Peer dependencies - Required by packages but not auto-installed
  • Optional dependencies - Non-critical packages

2. Conflict Detection

Identify dependency issues:

  • Version conflicts - Multiple versions of same package
  • Missing dependencies - Required but not installed
  • Incompatible versions - Version constraints that can't be satisfied
  • Circular dependencies - Packages depending on each other
  • Platform incompatibility - OS or architecture mismatches

3. Security Auditing

Check for vulnerabilities:

  • Known CVEs - Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
  • Outdated packages - Old versions with security patches available
  • Malicious packages - Typosquatting or compromised packages
  • License issues - Incompatible or restrictive licenses

4. Dependency Resolution

Provide solutions:

  • Version pinning - Lock compatible versions
  • Conflict resolution - Strategies to resolve version conflicts
  • Dependency updates - Safe upgrade paths
  • Alternative packages - Replacement suggestions
  • Minimal installations - Remove unnecessary dependencies

Dependency Resolution Workflow

Step 1: Identify Package Manager

Detect which dependency system is in use:

Package manager files:

npm/yarn:     package.json, package-lock.json, yarn.lock
pip:          requirements.txt, Pipfile, setup.py, pyproject.toml
maven:        pom.xml
gradle:       build.gradle, build.gradle.kts
cargo:        Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock
go:           go.mod, go.sum
composer:     composer.json, composer.lock
bundler:      Gemfile, Gemfile.lock
nuget:        *.csproj, packages.config

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-resolver is a skill published in the GitHub repository ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE (251 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 4,353 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
