dnf5-security-updates-knowledge-patch

dnf5-security-updates-knowledge-patch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Nevaberry/nevaberry-plugins. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for DNF5, the newer Fedora-family tool for finding, installing, updating, and managing software packages, including security updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before changing package-management code, commands, configuration, or automation involving updates, repositories, transactions, plugins, APIs, or Ansible.
Why use it?
It helps account for differences between upstream DNF5, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and RHEL instead of applying commands or settings from one system to another.

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

dnf5-security-updates-knowledge-patch 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 4d 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.

DNF5 Security Updates Knowledge Patch

Use the references

Load the reference matching the task before changing package-management code, commands, configuration, or automation. Preserve distribution scope: upstream DNF5, Fedora, Rocky Linux, and RHEL can ship different command forms, packages, defaults, and systemd units.

Breaking changes and migration traps

Treat Fedora 41 as a command handoff

On Fedora 41, dnf and yum invoke DNF5; use dnf4 or dnf-3 explicitly for unported callers. The Fedora 40-to-41 upgrade itself runs with DNF4, but later release upgrades use DNF5.

DNF4 and DNF5 share the RPM database but not history or reason state. The first DNF5 transaction attempts a one-time reason import, not history migration. Avoid alternating tools for package-changing operations because dependencies can be misclassified as user-installed.

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.
