Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.19890 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.07956 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.03978 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.01989 |
Grade B, and why
repo-deps scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

$repo-deps — Third-Party Dependency Currency
Keep the repo's third-party dependencies current: npm / pip / cargo / Go packages and GitHub Actions. Two halves, usually run together:
- Resolve organization policy and verify the updater — Dependabot by default, Renovate only as an explicit opt-in, independently of GitHub vulnerability alerts and security PRs.
- Triage dependency PRs — actual changes, age eligibility, security relevance, CI coverage, and merge policy.
This is the companion to [[update-tools]], not a part of it. update-tools
compares installer-managed tool packages (Loom, Anvil, Repo Skills) against a
local source clone; there is no source clone to diff for Dependabot, and
"triage incoming bot PRs" is a different activity from "update an installed
package." Keeping them separate keeps update-tools' comparison model intact.
Everything here either writes repo config, flips a repository setting, or
merges a PR — so like release, remote, followups, and update-tools,
this command requires authorization for writes and merges. Apply existing
authorization when it covers the concrete changes; otherwise show the changes
and confirm first. --check is always report-only.
Usage
$repo-deps # Report policy, updater status, and open dependency PRs
$repo-deps --check # Report only — never writes, never merges
$repo-deps --install # Only setup reconciliation (policy + config + settings)
$repo-deps --review # Only the PR-triage half
$repo-deps --review 123 # Triage one PR in depth
$repo-deps --all-repos # Fan-out survey: migration state across the current repo's org, report-only
$repo-deps --all-repos --owner OWNER # Same, for an explicit org/owner
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.

repo-deps is a skill published in the GitHub repository rjwalters/kicad-tools (73 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 19,890 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (subtle steering). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-11-01.
