dependency-management

dependency-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saitarrun/Devforge-ai. It costs 47 tokens per session (460 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for updating and controlling software packages that a project depends on, including indirect dependencies, security fixes, monorepos, deprecations, and license rules. A monorepo stores multiple related projects in one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose safe version updates, resolve dependency mismatches, apply security patches, manage shared packages, track deprecations, and check licenses.
Why use it?
It helps avoid version conflicts, address known security weaknesses, and keep dependency changes tested and traceable.

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-management 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Skill: Dependency Management

Stay current. Stay secure. Minimize version mismatch.

Version Updates

Semantic Versioning:

  • 1.0.02.0.0: Breaking change (test, update code)
  • 1.0.01.1.0: New feature (backward-compatible, usually safe)
  • 1.0.01.0.1: Bug fix (safe to update)

Security Patch Strategy

# 1. Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit  # or pip check, cargo audit

# 2. Update vulnerable packages
npm update [email protected]

# 3. Test changes
npm test

# 4. Commit & push
git commit -m "fix(deps): update lodash to patch CVE-2021-23337"

Transitive Dependency Hell

app → [email protected]
app → [email protected]
app → [email protected]

requests → [email protected]  # Different version!

Solution: Lock files (requirements.txt, package-lock.json, Cargo.lock)

Monorepo Dependencies

Shared dependencies (lock once):

root/
  Cargo.lock  # All crates use this
  crates/
    auth/
    api/
    db/

Deprecation Tracking

# Checklist when you deprecate something
- [ ] Announce (email, docs, header warning)
- [ ] Timeline (6 months warning)
- [ ] Alternatives (what should users use?)
- [ ] Test (ensure new way works)
- [ ] Remove (after timeline)

Status: Ready for dependency work
Best for: Version updates, security patches, CVE management

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.
