find-outdated-dependencies

find-outdated-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code from BastiDood/dependency-wrangler. It costs 22 tokens per session (626 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A dependency-checking procedure for one package manager and a selected part of a repository. Dependencies are external packages that a project relies on.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect outdated dependencies in npm, pnpm, Yarn, Bun, Deno, uv, or Cargo projects, including workspace members when they are in scope.
Why use it?
It finds direct packages with newer available versions while keeping the chosen package manager and workspace boundaries fixed.

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

find-outdated-dependencies scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation,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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find Outdated Dependencies

Run this skill inline in the dependency-bump orchestrator. The caller supplies one package manager and one already-resolved repository scope in prose. This skill produces records in the current conversation only. Do not create, modify, or return an artifact path.

Input Contract

The caller must identify:

  • The package manager: npm, pnpm, yarn, bun, deno, uv, or cargo.
  • The repository root and workspace scope, defaulting to the root project and all workspace members.

If the manager or scope is absent or conflicts with the repository files, stop and report the conflict to the caller. Do not select another manager.

Procedure

  1. Read only the reference for the supplied manager.
  2. Run its prerequisite check when it defines one. Report a failed prerequisite and stop; do not install tools or packages.
  3. Discover every in-scope manifest, including all workspace members unless the caller explicitly narrowed the scope. Use the reference's manifest and workspace rules.
  4. Run the reference's outdated-dependency command. Collect direct dependencies only. A nonzero status that the reference defines as an outdated-result status is not a failure.
  5. Parse the command output according to the reference. Preserve every occurrence: package name, manifest path, declared dependency section, current resolved version, and target version.
  6. For each distinct package, fetch authoritative registry metadata using the reference. Resolve the canonical project URL and repository URL from that metadata. Normalize Git URLs into browsable HTTPS URLs when possible. Keep an empty repository URL when no authoritative source provides one.
  7. Classify each occurrence by comparing its current and target versions: major when major differs, minor when the major matches and minor differs, otherwise patch. For non-semver versions, return unknown and include the unparsed versions.
  8. Return normalized occurrence records. Leave filtering and grouping to the caller.

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.
