dependency-management

dependency-management is a skill for Claude Code from HigorAlves/orc. It costs 47 tokens per session (864 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of instructions for reviewing and upgrading software packages used by a project. It covers JavaScript, Python, Go, and Rust projects, including security checks and outdated-package reviews.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit lockfiles, rank security findings, check for newer versions, and plan or apply safe dependency upgrades.
Why use it?
It helps identify vulnerable or outdated packages while reducing the risk of applying breaking major-version changes automatically.

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

dependency-management 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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependency Management

Doctrine for the three dependency verbs — audit (what's vulnerable), outdated (what's behind), upgrade (move safely). Ecosystem-specific commands and gotchas live in references:

Ecosystem Reference
npm / pnpm / yarn <references/npm.md>
Python (pip / uv) <references/python.md>
Go / Rust <references/go-rust.md>

Read the relevant reference before running any audit or upgrade command.

Audit

Prefer osv-scanner when installed (command -v osv-scanner) — it is ecosystem-agnostic, reads lockfiles directly, and covers polyglot repos in one pass:

osv-scanner scan --lockfile <lockfile>   # or: osv-scanner scan -r .

Otherwise fall back to the native tool per ecosystem: npm audit / pip-audit / cargo audit / govulncheck (exact invocations + gotchas in references).

Severity-ranked reporting

Report findings ranked critical → high → moderate → low, never alphabetically or by package. For each: package, installed version, fixed version (if any), CVE/GHSA id, and whether the fix is a patch, minor, or major bump. Critical findings get the 🛑 danger callout. Distinguish:

  • Fixable — a fixed version exists within the current major → candidate for the upgrade loop.
  • Fixable via major — fix exists but requires a major bump → escalate (see below), never auto-apply.
  • No fix yet — report it; suggest mitigations (overrides/constraints per references) only with user sign-off.
  • Dev-only vs production — call out the dependency class; production trumps dev at equal severity.

Outdated

Survey with the ecosystem's outdated command. Report as a table: package, current, wanted (in-range), latest, and the bump class (patch/minor/major). Recommend a batch of safe bumps (patch + minor) — but the batch is still applied one bump at a time via the upgrade loop.

The upgrade loop

The iron discipline for applying any bump:

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.
