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.

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 | $0.00030 | $0.03010 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01505 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00602 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00301 |
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 2d 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.

Dependency Management
Overview
Dependencies rot silently. Unmanaged packages become security liabilities, compatibility nightmares, and legal risks.
Core principle: ALWAYS assess, prioritize, and plan before updating. Rushed upgrades break production; ignored vulnerabilities enable breaches.
Violating the letter of this process is violating the spirit of dependency management.
First 5 Minutes Checklist (Security Vulnerability)
Use this when CVE alert arrives. Don't think, follow the list.
| Minute | Action | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 0-1 | Identify affected package and version | package@version confirmed |
| 1-2 | Check CVE severity (CVSS score) | Severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) |
| 2-3 | Verify if your app is affected | affected or not_affected |
| 3-4 | Check if patch available | patch_available or no_patch |
| 4-5 | If Critical/High: Create incident ticket | Stakeholders aware |
After 5 minutes: Proceed to Phase 2 (Assess Impact) - you've completed Detect.
The Iron Law
NO UPGRADES WITHOUT IMPACT ASSESSMENT FIRST
If you haven't assessed breaking changes and tested compatibility, you cannot merge dependency updates.
When to Use
Use for ANY dependency management task:
- Security vulnerability (CVE) response
- Major version upgrades
- Lock file merge conflicts
- License compliance audits
- Dependency health reviews
- Outdated package remediation
Use this ESPECIALLY when:
- Critical CVE discovered (pressure to "just update")
- Major version jump required (2.x to 3.x)
- Multiple conflicting lock file changes
- Preparing for compliance audit
- Inheriting legacy project with outdated deps
Don't skip when:
- "It's just a patch version" (patches can break too)
- "We're in a hurry" (systematic is faster than hotfix loops)
- "Everyone else uses this version" (your context differs)
When NOT to Use
This skill is for systematic dependency management. Don't use it for:
- Adding new dependencies - Evaluate need first, then use normal PR process
- Development-only tools - devDependencies with no prod impact
- Automatic security patches - Dependabot/Renovate auto-merge for patch versions
- Learning/prototyping - Experimental projects without production constraints
What ships with it
4 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.
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.

dependency-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository JeremyDev87/codingbuddy (31 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 3,010 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
