dependencies

dependencies is a skill for Claude Code from dean0x/devflow. It costs 15 tokens per session (927 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review reference for package additions, dependency files, and lock files. It treats every external package as code that must be trusted, checked, and kept at a known version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when reviewing package updates, adding libraries, checking lock files, or auditing dependency health.
Why use it?
It helps identify security risks, vulnerable versions, dependency conflicts, and packages the project does not need.

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

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.

Dependencies Patterns

Domain expertise for dependency management and security analysis. Use alongside devflow:review-methodology for complete dependency reviews.

Iron Law

EVERY DEPENDENCY IS AN ATTACK SURFACE

Each package you add is code you didn't write but must trust. Minimize dependencies. Pin versions. Audit regularly. A single compromised transitive dependency can compromise your entire application. "It's a popular package" is not a security review.


Dependency Categories

1. Security Vulnerabilities

Known CVEs, vulnerable version ranges, malicious packages.

Violation: Wide version range includes vulnerable versions

{ "lodash": "^4.0.0" }  // Includes vulnerable 4.17.0-4.17.20

Correct: Pin to safe version

{ "lodash": "^4.17.21" }  // First safe version

2. Version Management

Unpinned versions, missing lockfiles, dependency conflicts.

Violation: Unpinned allows any version

{ "express": "*", "lodash": "latest" }

Correct: Pin with lockfile

{ "express": "^4.18.2" }  // + committed lockfile

3. Dependency Health

Outdated packages, unused dependencies, unnecessary heavy packages.

Violation: Heavy dependency for simple task

{ "moment": "^2.29.4" }  // 300KB for date formatting

Correct: Use native or lighter alternative

new Date().toLocaleDateString();  // Native

4. License Issues

Incompatible licenses (GPL in MIT project), missing licenses.

Violation: GPL in proprietary code

# GPL-3.0: some-package  # Requires your code to be GPL too!

Correct: Use permissive licenses only

npx license-checker --failOn "GPL-3.0;AGPL-3.0"

5. Supply Chain Risks

Deep transitive dependencies, unmaintained packages, typosquatting.

Violation: Typosquatted package

{ "loadsh": "1.0.0" }  // Typosquat of "lodash"

Correct: Verify package authenticity

npm view loadsh  # Check downloads, repo, maintainers

What ships with it

3 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.

dependencies is a skill published in the GitHub repository dean0x/devflow (20 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 927 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
