plugin-deps-check

A version-compatibility checker for CodeNook plugins. It compares the plugin's required core version with the version currently running, using standard version comparisons.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to verify requirements such as a minimum version, maximum version, exact version, or a range of allowed versions.
Why use it?
It catches plugins that require a different core version before they are installed.

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

plugin-deps-check 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (_deps_check.py, deps-check.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

plugin-deps-check — Install gate G06

Verifies the plugin's declared requires.core_version constraint against the running core VERSION.

CLI

deps-check.sh --src <dir> [--core-version <v>] [--json]

If --core-version is omitted, the core VERSION file shipped with this repo (skills/codenook-core/VERSION) is read.

Constraint syntax

Comma-separated comparator list (logical AND):

>=0.2.0,<1.0.0
>=0.2.0
==0.2.0

Supported operators: >=, <=, >, <, ==, =, !=. Operands must be valid SemVer 2.0 strings.

⚠️ NOTE — SemVer pre-release precedence (M2 caveat)

Per SemVer §11.4, a version with a pre-release identifier has lower precedence than the same version without one:

0.2.0-m2.1  <  0.2.0-m2.2  <  0.2.0

While core is on 0.2.0-m2.x (M2 milestone pre-release), plugin authors who want to require "M2 or newer" must spell their constraint with an explicit pre-release floor — >=0.2.0 would reject every M2 build because every M2 build sorts before 0.2.0.

# plugin.yaml — correct for M2-era plugins:
requires:
  core_version: '>=0.2.0-m2'    # ✅ accepts 0.2.0-m2.1, 0.2.0-m2.2, 0.2.0, ...

# plugin.yaml — WRONG during M2:
requires:
  core_version: '>=0.2.0'       # ❌ rejects every 0.2.0-m2.x build

Once core ships final 0.2.0, plain >=0.2.0 becomes correct.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

plugin-deps-check is a skill published in the GitHub repository cintia09/CodeNook (5 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 468 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
