What it does

Update Dependencies is an agent skill from IndrajeetPatil/ggstatsplot. Update dependencies to their latest versions and keep the package compatible, change the minimum supported R version, or add, remove, or move a package dependency in DESCRIPTION. Use only for dependency maintenance, not for installing the current dependency set.

Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. The repository describes itself as: Enhancing {ggplot2} plots with statistical analysis 📊📣.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Statistics

Example prompts

  • “/update-dependencies”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run make update_deps and prek update. make update_deps tidies
  2. Inspect the diff and confirm that every updated constraint is the latest
  3. Fix breaking API changes, R-devel incompatibilities, generated-file drift,
  4. Apply small compatibility fixes or simplifications when a newer dependency
  5. A newer roxygen2 or statsExpressions release changes generated

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d18fc92. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • make

    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.

Context cost

Update Dependencies loads about 864 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 412 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~864

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 412 words (~864 tokens).

“DESCRIPTION is the source of truth for R and package dependency constraints. Regenerate codemeta.json, NAMESPACE, API, R/globals.R, and man/*.Rd from it instead of editing them by hand.”
