dependency-review

dependency-review is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Arnosdeus/agent-toolkit. It costs 28 tokens per session (145 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of changed package dependencies and the files that define them, such as manifests and lockfiles. Dependencies are external packages that a project relies on.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for checking dependency changes, package versions, security advisories, licences, package provenance, and transitive risk, then reporting evidence-based findings without changing files.
Why use it?
It helps catch unnecessary, unused, duplicated, incompatible, vulnerable, or incorrectly locked packages before they cause security, licensing, or build problems.

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

dependency-review 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 1mo 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 Review

Procedure and output

Compare manifests and lockfiles, inspect usage, and check advisories and licenses where available. Report BLOCKER, MAJOR, MINOR, or NOTE findings with package/version evidence and remediation; never silently edit dependencies.

Inspect manifests and lockfiles for outdated, unused, duplicate, incompatible, or vulnerable packages; lockfile consistency; licensing concerns where detectable; and transitive risk. Do not upgrade automatically unless requested. Verify package provenance and explain the impact of each recommendation.

Changes

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.
