deps

deps is a skill for Claude Code from brain-bootstrap/claude-code-brain-bootstrap. It costs 45 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-management helper for software packages and security vulnerabilities. Dependencies are external libraries that a project relies on, and CVEs are published records of security flaws.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking outdated packages, updating a named package, running security audits, explaining package relationships, and deduplicating npm, Python, Rust, or Ruby dependencies.
Why use it?
It shows what needs updating, why a package is present, and whether known vulnerabilities or duplicate packages need attention.

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

deps 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

Deps Skill

Manage project dependencies following the CVE decision tree.

Usage

/deps check              # Show outdated packages
/deps update lodash      # Update specific package
/deps audit              # Run security audit
/deps why express        # Explain why a package is installed
/deps dedupe             # Deduplicate dependency tree

Instructions

First: Read claude/cve-policy.md for the CVE decision tree.

Determine action from $ARGUMENTS:

Argument Action
check Show outdated packages
update <package> Update specific package
audit npm audit / pip audit / cargo audit / bundle audit
why <package> npm why <package> / pip show <package>
dedupe npm dedupe / pnpm dedupe
(empty) Run check + audit

By Package Manager:

npm / pnpm / yarn:

pnpm outdated 2>&1 | head -40
pnpm audit --audit-level moderate 2>&1 | head -40

pip / uv / poetry:

pip list --outdated 2>&1 | head -30
pip-audit 2>&1 | head -40

cargo:

cargo outdated 2>&1 | head -30
cargo audit 2>&1 | head -40

CVE Response Rules (from claude/cve-policy.md):

  • Critical/High severity → upgrade immediately, test, PR same day
  • Medium severity → schedule within current sprint
  • Low severity → batch with next dependency update cycle
  • NEVER blindly upgrade majors — check breaking changes first

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.
