deps

A guide for examining how a project uses a library, framework, or software development kit before upgrading it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess dependency upgrades, including iOS minimum-version changes, and produce a saved YAML report.
Why use it?
It identifies the installed version, usage points, required code changes, migration steps, and upgrade risks.

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Or install sourceatlas, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 14 skills.

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

deps 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.

SourceAtlas: Dependencies

Constitution: ANALYSIS_CONSTITUTION.md v1.1

Context

Target: $ARGUMENTS (library name, version upgrade, or iOS minimum version) Goal: Analyze dependency usage and provide upgrade guidance Time Limit: 5-15 minutes

Quick Start

  1. Check cache (skip if --force flag present)
  2. Detect version from manifest files (package.json, Podfile, etc.)
  3. Search for upgrade rules using WebSearch (if version upgrade)
  4. Find all usage points using grep/Glob
  5. Categorize usage by API type
  6. Generate YAML report following output-template.md
  7. Verify output using verification-guide.md
  8. Auto-save to .sourceatlas/deps/

Your Task

You are analyzing dependency usage to help users understand:

  1. Current state: Which version is installed, where it's used
  2. Upgrade impact: What needs to change for version upgrades
  3. Migration path: Step-by-step upgrade checklist
  4. Risk assessment: How complex is the upgrade

Upgrade Types You Handle

Input Pattern Type Focus
iOS 17, iOS 16 → 17 iOS Minimum Version Upgrade Removable #available, deprecated APIs, new opportunities
iOS SDK 26, Xcode 16 SDK/Compiler Upgrade Compilation warnings, Swift version, new syntax
react 17 → 18, pandas 1.x → 2.x Major Version Upgrade Breaking changes, deprecated APIs, new patterns
react, pandas (no version) Usage Inventory List usage points only

Core Workflow

Execute these phases in order. See workflow.md for complete details.

Phase 0: Rule Confirmation (1-2 minutes)

Purpose: Identify upgrade type and confirm analysis rules with user before proceeding.

Steps:

  1. Detect upgrade type from $ARGUMENTS
  2. Generate rules preview (what to check, where to search)
  3. Use AskUserQuestion to confirm rules

Files

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.

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

deps is a skill published in the GitHub repository lis186/SourceAtlas (47 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 2,245 once invoked, about $0.0001 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.
