package-manager is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thewolffish/wolffish-app. It costs 43 tokens per session (814 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A cross-platform command for installing system packages, such as developer tools and command-line utilities. It selects Homebrew on macOS, winget on Windows, or apt or dnf on Linux.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect the available package manager and install a requested package with the correct platform-specific name, after checking whether it is already installed.
Why use it?
It avoids having to remember different package-manager commands and package names for each operating system.

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

package-manager 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (plugin/index.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Package Manager

Usage

Use pkg_check first to detect the available package manager. On macOS, if Homebrew is missing, call pkg_install_manager to install it (requires user approval). On Windows and Linux the system manager is pre-installed.

To install a package, call pkg_install with package_name. If the package has a different identifier on a specific platform, pass the override:

  • brew_name for Homebrew (macOS)
  • winget_id for winget (Windows) — use the full ID like Gyan.FFmpeg
  • apt_name for apt (Debian/Ubuntu)
  • dnf_name for dnf (Fedora/RHEL)

When a capability declares a packages field in its SKILL.md, the cerebellum automatically injects the correct platform override so you don't need to know which OS the user is on.

Rules

  • All installs require user approval through the safety gate.
  • Never install packages the user didn't ask for.
  • Check if the package is already installed before attempting installation.
  • Use the platform-specific override when available for accurate package resolution.
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
