Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00080 | $0.02752 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.01101 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00550 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00275 |
Grade B, and why
dependencies-audit scanned grade B with 3 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 2mo 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.
Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
curl -s "https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/<package-name>" | node -e " Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Dependencies Fix
Find and fix all dependency issues in $ARGUMENTS (or the root package.json if no argument is given) — vulnerabilities, outdated packages, deprecated dependencies, license problems, and supply-chain risks. This skill produces the review-packages.md artifact required by the Flows app review process.
Step 1 — Read and list all dependencies
# List all dependencies and devDependencies
node -e "
const pkg = require('./package.json');
console.log('=== Dependencies ===');
Object.entries(pkg.dependencies || {}).forEach(([name, ver]) => console.log(name + ' @ ' + ver));
console.log('\\n=== Dev Dependencies ===');
Object.entries(pkg.devDependencies || {}).forEach(([name, ver]) => console.log(name + ' @ ' + ver));
"
Record the total count of dependencies and devDependencies.
Step 2 — Look up npm metadata and update outdated packages
For each package, gather:
- Latest version on npm
- Weekly downloads
- Last publish date
- Deprecated flag
# Batch lookup — run for each package (example for a single package)
npm view <package-name> --json 2>/dev/null | node -e "
const data = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('/dev/stdin','utf8'));
console.log(JSON.stringify({
name: data.name,
latest: data['dist-tags']?.latest,
modified: data.time?.modified,
deprecated: data.deprecated || false,
}));
"
# For weekly downloads, use the npm API
curl -s "https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/<package-name>" | node -e "
const data = JSON.parse(require('fs').readFileSync('/dev/stdin','utf8'));
console.log(data.downloads);
"
For efficiency, batch multiple lookups. If the project has many dependencies, use a script:
node -e "
const { execSync } = require('child_process');
const pkg = require('./package.json');
const allDeps = { ...pkg.dependencies, ...pkg.devDependencies };
for (const [name, usedVersion] of Object.entries(allDeps)) {
try {
const info = JSON.parse(execSync('npm view ' + name + ' --json 2>/dev/null', { encoding: 'utf8' }));
const latest = info['dist-tags']?.latest || 'unknown';
const modified = info.time?.modified || 'unknown';
const deprecated = info.deprecated ? 'YES' : 'No';
console.log([name, usedVersion, latest, modified, deprecated].join(' | '));
} catch {
console.log(name + ' | ' + usedVersion + ' | LOOKUP FAILED');
}
}

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.

dependencies-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository cognitedata/builder-skills (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 2,752 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls, runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
