deps-vet

deps-vet is a skill for Claude Code from oliver-kriska/claude-elixir-phoenix. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security review ledger for Hex package versions. It records which dependencies were checked and approved after a supply-chain review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record package verdicts after dependency security audits, initialize the project’s audit ledger, list approved versions, or check the lockfile against that ledger.
Why use it?
It makes dependency approval visible and prevents an older approval from being silently applied to a newer package version.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • medium Excessive Agency · line 29
    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
  • medium Rogue Agent · line 37
    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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-vet 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 7d 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.

Deps Vet — Hex package audit ledger

Review a Hex package version, run Phase 1 supply-chain rules against it, prompt the user for a verdict, append the result to hex_vet.exs (project-root audit ledger). Vetted versions get downgraded to INFO on subsequent /phx:deps-audit runs.

Run this AFTER /phx:deps-audit to clear findings. Run this BEFORE merging a mix.lock PR to certify new versions.

Usage

/phx:deps-vet phoenix 1.7.21      # vet a single package version
/phx:deps-vet --seed              # import curated baseline seed (~30 pkgs)
/phx:deps-vet --list              # show existing ledger entries
/phx:deps-vet --check             # cross-check mix.lock vs ledger

Iron Laws

  1. NEVER auto-approve. Every entry MUST come from an AskUserQuestion confirmation. Drive-by trust ruins the ledger's value.
  2. Lock wins on disagreement. If mix.lock has version X and the ledger vets X-1, emit INFO and treat X as unvetted. Don't silently trust the older entry.
  3. Ledger lives at project root. hex_vet.exs is a first-class security artifact, visible in PR review. Don't move it into .claude/.
  4. Round-trip via inspect/2. When appending, read the file with Code.eval_file/1, mutate the map, and write back via inspect(term, pretty: true, limit: :infinity). Hand-rolled string appends drift over time.
  5. Always show findings before prompting. The user must see what's being vetted. No silent :safe_to_deploy defaults.
  6. Confirmation counts are COMPUTED, never estimated. Any number in an AskUserQuestion (criteria split, new/overwrite/no-op) MUST be derived from the loaded data before prompting — e.g. Enum.frequencies_by(seed.audits, & &1.criteria). Eyeballing the file and approving on wrong numbers corrupts the consent.

Execution flow

Step 1: Locate or seed hex_vet.exs

If hex_vet.exs exists at project root:
    Read it via Code.eval_file/1
Else:
    Write the empty-ledger stub (see ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/hex-vet.md §"Empty ledger")
    Inform user: "Created hex_vet.exs at project root."

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.
