ledger-live: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dependency-patches/SKILL.md

dependency-patches is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from LedgerHQ/ledger-live. It costs 41 tokens per session (415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project policy for changing the source code of third-party packages with pnpm patches. A patch is a local modification to an external dependency rather than a change maintained by its original authors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before creating or expanding a dependency patch, checking for upstream fixes, deciding whether to replace a package, and recording a removal plan.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid carrying unnecessary or hard-to-remove dependency changes when an upstream release, configuration change, or application workaround would be better. It also requires documenting why an exception is needed.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is LedgerHQ/ledger-live's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ledger-live itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ledger-live configures →

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-patches 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 12d 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.

What it actually says

Dependency patches

A pnpm patch is a content fork of a third-party dependency. Do not choose one casually: prefer an upstream release, configuration, or application-side workaround. This policy applies to new patches; existing patches require a migration/removal decision before being expanded or carried to a new version.

Before creating a patch

  1. Check the upstream issue tracker, pull requests, and releases for the fix. Use an available upstream release instead of a patch.
  2. Assess whether the dependency is outdated, still needed, and has a maintained alternative. Prefer replacing an unmaintained or unnecessary dependency over carrying a patch.
  3. Do not put Ledger product logic in a dependency. A small generic, opt-in hook may be patched only when it is suitable for upstreaming.
  4. Use a local patch only when the equivalent upstream fix is open or merged but unreleased. Otherwise, a patch is an exception: a revert, an unmaintained dependency, or an urgent production/CI fix. Record the justification and the removal plan in the tracking ticket, and still open the upstream PR when one applies.

Every patch requires

  • A tech-debt backlog ticket linking the upstream PR/reference (when applicable), naming an owner, and stating the removal condition, such as “remove after upstream version X.Y.Z”.
  • An adjacent comment in the patched file using that file's native comment syntax, with the upstream reference and removal condition. For formats without comments (for example JSON), put those details in the tracking ticket.
  • Minimal, generic changes that can be removed cleanly. Never use a patch to inject undeclared dependencies; see pnpm-resolution.

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.
