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.

SkillSpector: 3 findings, up to medium
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 4 Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 40 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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00029 | $0.01884 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00754 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00377 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00188 |
Grade A, and why
node-deps-bumper 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 11d 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 — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Node Dependency Bumper
Use Taze to build one structured update plan, apply compatible ranged updates, and make major-version decisions as a batch.
Adding Dependencies
For a new package or CLI, use the repository's package manager and existing range convention instead of Taze. Installing
package@latest and retaining the package manager's resulting ^x.y.z range is allowed. Do not replace a caret range
with an exact version merely because it can admit future releases.
When an effective package-manager minimum-release-age policy exists, it provides the freshness boundary for candidate versions. In that case, read references/conditional-workflows.md. The committed lockfile and frozen deployment install provide reproducibility. Exact-pin only when the user or repository requires it, a known compatibility constraint justifies it, or the package will run without a committed lockfile and frozen install.
Multiple Repositories
When the user names two or more repositories or asks to sync or align dependencies across repositories, read references/multi-repo-alignment.md. It runs the Workflow below per repository and adds shared-target selection, one cross-repository major batch, and per-repository commits.
Workflow
-
Resolve the skill directory and save the helper plan from the target repository:
bash <skill-dir>/scripts/run-taze.sh --plan [--include package-a,package-b] > <taze-plan.json>The JSON plan classifies every discovered update as
apply,review-major,review, orskip-fixed. The helper detects monorepos, includes locked versions during scans, and mirrors Bun minimum-release-age settings. If the repository uses package-manager age gates or Bun catalogs, read references/conditional-workflows.md for that active branch only. -
If
--dry-runwas requested, present the plan and counts, then stop without changing manifests or lockfiles.
What ships with it
8 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.

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.

node-deps-bumper is a skill published in the GitHub repository PaulRBerg/agent-skills (104 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 29 tokens to every session and 1,884 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 2026-08-30.
