jfrog-package-curation

jfrog-package-curation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jfrog/jfrog-skills. It costs 189 tokens per session (3,670 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A package-checking and download guide for libraries from registries such as npm, Maven, PyPI, and Go. It uses JFrog catalog and repository information to check whether a package is available and allowed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check and download packages, investigate errors such as npm ETARGET or HTTP 403, and understand whether a package or version needs an approved waiver.
Why use it?
It helps explain failed downloads, missing versions, blocked packages, and curation policies instead of treating every registry error as the same problem.

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

jfrog-package-curation scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

JFrog Package Curation

Prerequisites

  • Read ../jfrog/SKILL.md for JFrog Platform concepts, domain model, CLI setup, and API patterns.
  • OneModel shapes drift by server version. Before inventing GraphQL fields or where filters, read ../jfrog/references/onemodel-graphql.md (schema fetch workflow) and ../jfrog/references/onemodel-query-examples.md (Public packages, Stored packages). Regenerate or verify queries against GET "$JFROG_URL/onemodel/api/v1/supergraph/schema" when examples fail validation.

Which path do I need?

  • Package hasn't been checked or downloaded yet (is it safe / allowed / curated? download it) → go to Check & download below.
  • A package operation already failedETARGET (npm), "no matching distribution" (pip), NU1102 (NuGet), a version missing/stripped from the registry, 403 / "blocked by curation policy", or an approved waiver not taking effect → go to Troubleshoot a failure below.

Troubleshoot a failure

Requires the JFrog MCP curation tools (jfs_curation_*); no jf CLI equivalent is used in this path. See the skill's compatibility note.

Root-causing a curation-attributable failure (ETARGET, 403, a version missing from the index, a waiver not taking effect) is a multi-step investigation — preflight checks, the two-gate model, symptom classification, then a full RCA procedure. It doesn't belong inline here since a plain download never touches it. Open references/rca-procedure.md and follow it from the top — one file, covering preflight, the #1 RULE, the two-gate model, symptom classification (Step 0), and the RCA itself (Steps 1–4, worked examples, gotchas).

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.
