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.

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 | $0.00042 | $0.03135 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00021 | $0.01568 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00627 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00314 |
Grade B, and why
socket-dep-patch scanned grade B with 2 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 yesterday.
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.
Downloads and executes remote codemediumSupply chain
curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.
| Standalone (macOS/Linux) | `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SocketDev/socket-patch/main/install.sh \| sh` | Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 292 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dep Patch
Apply Socket's binary-level security patches to vulnerable dependencies without changing their version numbers. This skill uses socket-patch apply to fix known vulnerabilities in-place. Patches are applied in bulk - socket-patch apply patches all available packages at once.
After applying patches, this skill checks whether the project is set up to keep patches applied automatically (via postinstall hooks, CI steps, or Dockerfile layers). If not, it walks through configuring automated patching.
How This Differs from /socket-dep-upgrade
/socket-dep-patch (this skill) |
/socket-dep-upgrade |
|
|---|---|---|
| Primary tool | socket-patch apply |
socket fix |
| What it does | Applies binary-level patches without changing versions | Upgrades dependency versions to fix CVEs |
| Version changes? | No | Yes |
| Code changes needed? | No | Possibly (API migration for major bumps) |
| Scope | All patchable packages at once | One dependency at a time |
| When to use | You need fixes without version churn, or the upstream fix doesn't exist yet | You want to bring dependencies up to date |
Use /socket-dep-patch when you want to fix vulnerabilities without risking breaking changes from version upgrades. Use /socket-dep-upgrade when you want full version upgrades with automated code migration.
When to Use
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.

socket-dep-patch is a skill published in the GitHub repository SocketDev/sauce (2 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,135 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
