Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00034 | $0.00958 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00383 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00096 |
Grade A, and why
dependency-audit 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 1mo 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Purpose
Shared policy: Follow
instructions/coordination.instructions.mdfor precedence, invocation, delegation, and handoffs. Applyinstructions/workflow.instructions.mdfor proportional work and verification.
This skill is a thin coordinator. It owns the end-to-end dependency-hygiene flow and the gate between audit and upgrade, but delegates the detailed procedures to two atomic skills:
dependency-audit-report— read-only direct/transitive inventory, vulnerability/risk assessment, version-specific license evidence and declared policy comparison, plus a prioritized upgrade plan.dependency-upgrade-execution— risk-ordered upgrade batches with restore/build/test verification, then commit hand-off.
For single-phase needs, invoke those skills directly. Use this coordinator when you want the full audit → approval → upgrade flow in one place.
When to use this skill
Use this skill whenever:
- The user asks to "update dependencies", "check for vulnerabilities", or "audit packages".
- Starting a new sprint or maintenance cycle — periodic dependency hygiene.
- A security advisory is reported and you need to assess impact, then potentially act.
- Before a major release — ensure dependencies are current and secure.
Do not use this skill for:
- Adding new dependencies — just add them directly.
- Debugging dependency conflicts during development — investigate directly.
- Framework upgrades (e.g., .NET 8 → .NET 9) — those require explicit architectural scope and approval.
- A pure report (no intent to upgrade) — invoke
dependency-audit-reportdirectly.
Workflow
Run the two atomic skills in strict order with an approval gate between them.
Step 1: Audit (delegate to dependency-audit-report)
Run the dependency-audit-report skill. It discovers the full dependency graph,
categorizes version/vulnerability risks, and reports licenses against declared
policy, including current packages, transitives, conflicts, unknowns, and
not-assessed scopes. Its prioritized plan does not imply that an upgrade resolves
every license finding. It is read-only and never edits manifests or lock files.
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.

dependency-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 958 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.

fto-triage
Freedom-to-operate triage — a structured first look at potentially blocking patents, not an FTO opinion. Use when a product, process, or feature is being evaluated for blocking patents, when asked whether anything stops a launch, or to build a claim-chart first pass against the most plausible patents before patent…
legal-hold
Issue, refresh, release, or report on legal holds — drafts the hold notice as .docx, updates legalhold fields in log.yaml, and calendars the next refresh. Use when the user says "issue a hold", "refresh hold", "release hold", or asks for a portfolio-wide hold status report.
specification-writing
A workflow for writing complete patent specifications from patent claims and an invention disclosure. It adapts the document to a chosen jurisdiction, such as the US, Europe, or China.
x-scorecard
OpenSSF Scorecard for assessing open source project security. Check security best practices and compliance. Dependency: This is an x-cmd module. Install x-cmd first (see x-cmd skill for installation options). see x-cmd skill for installation.
