version-checker

version-checker is a skill for Claude Code from matteocervelli/llms. It costs 16 tokens per session (3,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for Python package versions and their compatibility. It looks for breaking changes, version conflicts, and known security vulnerabilities.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking dependency declarations, planning upgrades, resolving version conflicts, and reviewing compatibility with Python 3.11 or newer.
Why use it?
It helps avoid installing incompatible packages or upgrading to versions that could break the project or contain known security problems.

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

version-checker 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 5d 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.

Version Checker Skill

Purpose

The Version Checker skill provides version compatibility analysis, breaking change detection, and security vulnerability scanning for Python dependencies. It validates version specifiers, checks for breaking changes between versions, and identifies security vulnerabilities in dependency versions.

Key Functions:

  • Parse and validate version specifiers (>=, ~=, ^, ==, etc.)
  • Check compatibility across Python versions
  • Detect breaking changes between package versions
  • Scan for security vulnerabilities
  • Recommend upgrade paths
  • Generate version compatibility reports

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Validate version specifiers in dependency declarations
  • Check if new dependency versions are compatible with Python 3.11+
  • Detect breaking changes when upgrading dependencies
  • Scan dependencies for security vulnerabilities
  • Plan dependency upgrade strategies
  • Resolve version conflicts

Typical Scenarios:

  • Phase 2 design (version compatibility for PRP)
  • Dependency upgrade planning
  • Security vulnerability assessment
  • Version conflict resolution
  • Compatibility verification before installation

Workflow

1. Parse Version Specifiers

Action: Extract and validate version specifiers from dependency declarations

Version Specifier Types:

  • ==1.2.3 - Exact version match
  • >=1.0.0 - Minimum version (inclusive)
  • >1.0.0 - Minimum version (exclusive)
  • <=2.0.0 - Maximum version (inclusive)
  • <2.0.0 - Maximum version (exclusive)
  • ~=1.2.0 - Compatible release (>=1.2.0, <2.0.0)
  • >=1.0,<2.0 - Range specifier
  • !=1.3.0 - Exclude specific version

Example:

# Validate version specifiers
echo "httpx>=0.27.0" | grep -E '^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+[><=~!].*'

Output: Valid/invalid version specifier

2. Check Python Version Compatibility

Action: Verify dependency compatibility with target Python version (3.11+)

Process:

  1. Read package metadata from PyPI
  2. Check python_requires field
  3. Verify compatibility with Python 3.11+
  4. Report incompatibilities

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.

version-checker is a skill published in the GitHub repository matteocervelli/llms (25 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 16 tokens to every session and 3,179 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 2026-09-03.
