supply-chain-safety

supply-chain-safety is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zfinix/aster. It costs 38 tokens per session (480 once invoked), scanned D, original, Apache-2.0.

A safety guide for adding software packages and changing dependency lockfiles. Dependencies are external libraries that a project installs and uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before installing a package, adding a dependency, or reviewing a lockfile change, including checking package availability and inspecting the final diff.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of running malicious install scripts, accidentally upgrading pinned packages, or adding a fake or compromised package.

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 D, and why

supply-chain-safety scanned grade D with 3 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Supply chain safety

  1. Install with scripts off. Lifecycle hooks (preinstall, postinstall, prepare) run arbitrary code with your privileges and are the top npm attack vector: npm ci --ignore-scripts, pnpm install --ignore-scripts, bun install (scripts off by default for new deps). If the project truly needs a hook (native builds), run that one package's build explicitly afterward and say so.
  2. Reproduce, do not resolve. In an existing repo use the lockfile verbatim: npm ci, pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, bun install --frozen-lockfile. Plain npm install may silently upgrade what the repo pinned.
  3. Verify a package exists before adding it. Models hallucinate package names, and attackers register those names (slopsquatting). Check the registry first: npm view <name> versions time downloads — a package that appeared last week with three downloads is not the library you meant.
  4. Prefer boring versions. The freshest release is the compromise window; recent campaigns shipped malware in brand-new patch versions of trusted packages. Pin exact versions and let a new release age unless it fixes something you need.
  5. Read the lockfile diff before committing it. New transitive deps, changed registry URLs, or git/tarball sources appearing in a routine change are the dependency-confusion signature. git diff --stat the lockfile and question anything you did not intend to add.
  6. Never pipe the internet into a shell. No curl ... | bash, no wget ... | sh. Download to a file, read it, then decide.
  7. Audit is a signal, not a chore. npm audit --omit=dev after installs; report criticals to the user rather than auto-fixing with --force (that is a blind major bump).

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.

supply-chain-safety is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zfinix/aster (77 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 480 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (downloads and executes remote code, unrestricted tool access, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
