deps

deps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fold-run/fold. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,067 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of instructions for handling dependency vulnerabilities, Dependabot pull requests, and dependency updates in a Go project. It explains how to tell whether a failed vulnerability check comes from new code or a newly published advisory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when `make vuln` fails, a Dependabot update needs review, CI's vulnerability job is red, or the MCP SDK or Go toolchain needs updating.
Why use it?
It helps separate a real repository change from an external update to the vulnerability database, avoiding unnecessary code changes.

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 today.

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 — 101 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependencies and vulnerabilities

fold has 13 direct dependencies and runs at a trust boundary, so the supply chain is part of the threat model rather than housekeeping. Four separate mechanisms watch it, and knowing which one is talking saves the whole investigation.

Mechanism Watches Produces
CI vuln job / make vuln Go advisories against this tree A red merge gate
dependabot (weekly ×3) gomod, github-actions, docker base images PRs
drift.yml (Mondays 06:00 UTC) the latest MCP SDK and conformance suite An issue
console-sync.yml (on demand; bumped at release) the vendored console A PR — see /console-sync

A red govulncheck often has no commit behind it

Check this first, before reading the diff. make vuln runs govulncheck@latest against the live advisory database, so a run that was green yesterday goes red today because an advisory was published — not because anything changed here.

go version                          # the toolchain in use
grep '^go ' go.mod                  # the version this module requires
make vuln                           # read WHICH module and WHICH advisory

If the finding is in the standard library, the fix is a Go patch version, not a dependency bump: raise the go line in go.mod and let the toolchain download it. That has happened here before — six standard-library advisories at once, fixed by moving to a Go patch release.

If the finding is in a dependency, bump that dependency alone. Do not run a blanket go get -u; a vulnerability fix and a feature bump should not arrive in one commit.

Either way the image builder base may also need repinning — it sets GOTOOLCHAIN=local, so an image whose base is below what go.mod requires cannot fix it at build time and fails the build. That skew once sat on main through two green merges and failed after the tag was pushed. CI's image job now catches it per-PR; check deploy/docker/*.Dockerfile when you move the Go line.

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.

deps is a skill published in the GitHub repository fold-run/fold (1 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 72 tokens to every session and 1,067 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
