solid-dependency-inversion

solid-dependency-inversion is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from helmedeiros/clean-code-skills. It costs 51 tokens per session (769 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A software design review based on the Dependency Inversion Principle, which says business logic should rely on shared interfaces rather than concrete databases, web clients, or other infrastructure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing dependency direction, defining the abstraction needed by high-level code, and moving infrastructure details behind that abstraction.
Why use it?
It identifies tight coupling that makes infrastructure changes harder and unit tests more complicated, then guides the design toward replaceable implementations.

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

solid-dependency-inversion 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 3d 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.

SOLID: Dependency Inversion Principle

Ensure that high-level modules do not depend on low-level modules — both should depend on abstractions. Abstractions should not depend on details; details should depend on abstractions.

When This Skill Applies

  • High-level business logic imports database drivers, HTTP clients, or file system modules directly
  • Changing an infrastructure detail requires modifying business logic
  • Unit testing requires complex mocking of concrete dependencies
  • The user mentions DIP, dependency inversion, or decoupling
  • A module cannot be reused because it is coupled to specific infrastructure

Core Principle

Dependency Inversion flips the traditional dependency direction. Instead of high-level modules calling low-level modules directly, both depend on a shared abstraction (interface). The high-level module defines the interface it needs; the low-level module implements it. This makes the high-level module stable and reusable, while infrastructure details become swappable.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the Dependency Direction

Draw the dependency arrows. If a domain/business class imports a concrete infrastructure class (database, HTTP, filesystem), the dependency points in the wrong direction.

Step 2: Define an Abstraction

Create an interface that the high-level module needs. Name it from the domain perspective: OrderRepository, not PostgresClient. The interface belongs to the high-level module's package.

Step 3: Implement the Abstraction

The low-level module implements the interface. The implementation lives in the infrastructure layer and imports the interface from the domain layer.

Step 4: Inject the Dependency

Pass the implementation to the high-level module through its constructor or a factory. The high-level module never creates the low-level dependency directly.

Step 5: Verify

The high-level module should compile and be testable without any infrastructure dependency. Tests use a simple in-memory or stub implementation.

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.

solid-dependency-inversion is a skill published in the GitHub repository helmedeiros/clean-code-skills (2 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 769 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
