dependency-maintenance

dependency-maintenance is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pingdotgg/t3code. It costs 46 tokens per session (525 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for changing project dependencies, package-manager or JavaScript runtime versions, TypeScript and build tools, and native-build settings. It checks manifests, scripts, automated checks, runtime requirements, patches, and compatibility claims together.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps add, move, or upgrade dependencies and update pnpm, JavaScript runtimes, TypeScript, build and test tools, native-build policies, patches, and test images.
Why use it?
It prevents an upgrade from being treated as only a lockfile change when other versions and supported environments may also need updating. It helps keep development versions, tested versions, peer ranges, and minimum requirements consistent.

About the project

T3 Code is an app for controlling AI coding agents running on a user's computer through mobile, web, and desktop interfaces. Developers use it to work remotely with supported agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, and Antigravity. The catalogue add-ons support the T3 Code workflow.

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

dependency-maintenance 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 27d 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 — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Treat an upgrade as a synchronization task, not a lockfile refresh. Derive versions, commands, and compatibility points from the current repository.

Discover

  1. Read affected manifests and scripts, pnpm-workspace.yaml, setup actions, workflows, test configuration, and compatibility documentation.
  2. Search for the dependency and every current version, range, runtime input, image, engine constraint, patch, and compatibility claim.
  3. Record each match as a development version, tested version, peer range, engine minimum, advertised minimum, or intentionally different constraint.
  4. When adding or moving a manifest entry, read manifest-roles.md before selecting its role.
  5. Select the package-local or coordinated branch and its validation matrix.

Discovery is complete when every match and affected validation surface is accounted for.

Package-local branch

Use this branch only for one dependency in one workspace package when runtime, compiler, package-manager, image, patch, native-build, and shared-tooling policy are unchanged.

Update only the owning manifest and keep peer compatibility independent from the development version tested here. If any coordinated surface appears, switch branches.

This branch is complete when the manifest and lockfile agree, focused checks pass, and every search result is intentionally unchanged or package-local.

Coordinated branch

Read coordinated-upgrades.md, select every applicable row, and update all listed synchronization points before installing. Apply root workflow and generated-file requirements before editing those surfaces, then return here to finish matrix and lockfile review.

Install and finish

Run root pnpm install after all selected edits. Inspect warnings and the semantic lockfile diff for specifiers, resolutions, duplicate transitives, peer changes, integrity, patch hashes, lifecycle scripts, and allowBuilds effects. A successful install alone does not complete this review.

What ships with it

2 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.

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.
