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.

SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- high Rogue Agent · line 76 Skill modifies its own code, configuration, or behavior at runtime. Self-modification enables an agent to escalate privileges, disable safety constraints, or install persistent backdoors.Fix: Prevent the skill from modifying its own code, SKILL.md, or configuration files. Treat skill files as read-only at runtime.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 139 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00039 | $0.02645 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01323 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00529 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00265 |
Grade A, and why
dev-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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependency Management
Use this skill for package-manager choice, lockfile policy, update strategy, supply-chain controls, and dependency hygiene across common ecosystems. It owns reproducibility and security defaults, not framework-specific app architecture.
Quick Reference
| Task | Use |
|---|---|
| Ecosystem defaults and package-manager choice | references/ecosystem-guides.md |
| Lockfiles and CI install policy | references/lockfile-management.md |
| Security scanning, SBOMs, and provenance | references/security-scanning.md, assets/automation/template-supply-chain-security.md, assets/automation/template-sbom-vuln-triage-checklist.md |
| Monorepos and workspace policy | references/monorepo-patterns.md, assets/nodejs/pnpm-workspace-template.yaml |
| Update strategy and rollback | references/update-strategies.md, assets/automation/template-dependency-upgrade-playbook.md |
| Add-or-avoid dependency decision | references/dependency-selection-guide.md, references/transitive-dependencies.md |
| Audit script | python3 scripts/dep_auditor.py --help |
When to Use
- Choose or migrate a package manager.
- Define lockfile, wrapper, or toolchain pinning policy.
- Add, remove, pin, or upgrade dependencies safely.
- Resolve dependency conflicts or transitive-risk issues.
- Set up audits, SBOM generation, provenance checks, or update automation.
- Define dependency policy for monorepos or polyglot repos.
Route Elsewhere
- Framework-specific frontend or backend implementation: use the relevant software skill.
- AppSec architecture beyond the dependency layer: use software-security-appsec.
- CI/CD platform design: use ops-devops-platform.

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.

dev-dependency-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository vasilyu1983/AI-Agents-public (87 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 2,645 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
