kendex: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/dep-radar/SKILL.md

dep-radar is a skill for Claude Code from vanillagreencom/kendex. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,655 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A dependency-maintenance procedure for reviewing pinned software versions and deciding which updates to apply.

In plain words
What is it for?
It inventories dependencies, detects updates, researches them, applies approved upgrades with fixes, and produces a report; repository-specific package details come from a separate inventory.
Why use it?
It provides a repeatable way to find outdated dependencies, classify updates, handle resulting code changes, and report ownership.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is vanillagreencom/kendex's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on kendex itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything kendex configures →

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 C, and why

dep-radar scanned grade C 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 2d 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.

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 99 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Project Instructions

Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.

dep-radar

inventory → detect → research → classify → upgrade-with-fixes → report the owner tier.

Generic engine only: concrete package names, pinned binaries, and fork lists live in the per-repo inventory, never here.

Load github before Phase 4 (PR creation, CI status, merges). Load worktree when a run applies more than one surface, one working copy per surface branch.

Operating policy (the contract with the product owner)

Rule keys are the contract; an inventory owner-rule cites them. Dropping or renaming a key changes the contract.

Rule Contract
auto-with-fixes The default. Security fixes; patch/minor bumps; pinned-binary version+SHA refreshes from OFFICIAL manifests only; SDK, agent-tooling, and runtime-binary bumps and npm/cargo majors, doing the bump AND fixing its fallout (API migrations, re-vendored bundled-extension bridges, tests, CI) in the SAME per-surface workstream; bundled-extension fork updates and local patch rebases when the consuming repo's full test suite gates the sync.
report-never-auto Model-weight swaps; changes to durable/recorded data scope; anything an inventory owner-rule explicitly demotes. Nothing else is report-by-default.
uncertain Attempt the upgrade; report only what actually failed, with error output.
defer Only on a strong concrete blocker you actually hit, such as a dropped capability with no migration path or a transitive that does not support the new version. Never a generic "it's a major" risk or any other anticipated one.
one-pr-per-surface One PR per surface; never batch surfaces. A surface's fallout fixes go in THAT surface's PR.
upstream-check-required Every pinned surface must have a wired upstream check command; a surface lacking one is an inventory defect the run must fix.
dated-report Every run ends with a dated report.
demote-only Inventory owner-rules may demote auto→report, never promote report→auto.

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.
