What it does

Dependencies is an agent skill from alpha-omega-security/scrutineer. Run git-pkgs list and sbom against the repository and emit one envelope with per-section status.

Its SKILL.md is about 600 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `schema.json` and `scripts/index.sh`). Compatibility notes: Requires git-pkgs (https://github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs) and python3 on PATH.

It sits in Security, covering Supply chain security and Git workflow. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Security through scrutiny. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Supply chain security
  • Tasks that involve Git workflow

Example prompts

  • “/dependencies”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires `git-pkgs` (https://github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs) and `python3` on PATH.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3407bf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Requires `git-pkgs` (https://github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs) and `python3` on PATH.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Dependencies loads about 596 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~596

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

dependencies

Run the two per-repository git-pkgs analyses after one git-pkgs init and assemble the results into a versioned envelope. analyses.inventory is the manifest occurrence list from git-pkgs list; analyses.sbom is the CycloneDX document from git-pkgs sbom --skip-enrichment. Each section has its own status so a failure in one does not discard the other. Per-package registry lookups (licences, vulnerabilities, latest-version, deprecation) are not run here; scrutineer performs those once per package outside the scan. Scrutineer's worker resolves Maven requirements from local pom.xml files with git-pkgs/pom, fills requirement_resolution, and marks unresolved placeholders with requirement_unresolved.

Workspace

  • ./src — the cloned repository
  • ./scripts/index.sh — the wrapper script
  • ./report.json — write the final report here
  • ./schema.json — output shape

Available scripts

  • scripts/index.sh — runs git-pkgs init inside ./src, then list and sbom --skip-enrichment, capturing stdout, stderr, and exit code per command, and writes the assembled envelope to stdout.

What to do

Run the script and capture its stdout as the report:

bash
bash scripts/index.sh > ./report.json

If the script exits non-zero, read its stderr, then write {"schema_version": 1, "analyses": {}, "error": "..."} to ./report.json so the caller sees why nothing was collected.

The wrapper already emits the exact schema the parser expects, including per-section status: "error" for a failed command. Do not post-process, merge sections, or hand-author dependency rows. Do not inspect manifests yourself or infer dependencies from files that git-pkgs did not report. An empty analyses.inventory.result means git-pkgs found no manifests; write that report and stop.

When should I use Dependencies?

Dependencies fits situations like: tasks that involve Supply chain security; tasks that involve Git workflow.

How do I install Dependencies in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add alpha-omega-security/scrutineer --skill dependencies -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dependencies in alpha-omega-security/scrutineer) into .claude/skills/dependencies in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install Dependencies in Codex?

Run `npx skills add alpha-omega-security/scrutineer --skill dependencies -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/dependencies in alpha-omega-security/scrutineer) into .agents/skills/dependencies in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Dependencies in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alpha-omega-security/scrutineer --skill dependencies -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dependencies, .gemini/skills/dependencies, .github/skills/dependencies and .opencode/skills/dependencies in your project.

What does Dependencies need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dependencies needs a shell for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (bash). Our summary lists: A Bash shell. Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires `git-pkgs` (https://github.com/git-pkgs/git-pkgs) and `python3` on PATH..

Does Dependencies access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Dependencies safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.

What licence does Dependencies use?

Dependencies is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Dependencies use?

About 596 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to Dependencies?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with Dependencies: Vibe CI Supply Chain (mistralai/mistral-vibe, 5.1k stars), Check npm (grafana/skills, 281 stars), Dependency Track Upload (cdxgen/cdxgen, 1.1k stars) and Security (notque/vexjoy-agent, 439 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
