What it does

Module Dependencies is an agent skill from JetBrains/intellij-community, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Add or modify IntelliJ module dependencies in .iml files.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.3k 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 Mobile. It works with JetBrains IDEs and Kotlin. The repository describes itself as: IntelliJ IDEA & IntelliJ Platform.

When your agent uses it

  • Mobile work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/module-dependencies”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Edit the .iml with the repo-approved edit tool.
  2. Run bun build/jps-module.mjs register --fix-iml-eof for every changed module file.
  3. Run ./build/jpsModelToBazel.cmd so generated BUILD.bazel files match the .iml source of truth.
  4. Verify compilation or tests for the affected module.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cbaf50b. 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:

    • bun

    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

Module Dependencies loads about 2.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 20 tokens; SKILL.md has 975 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~20
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.3k

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 975 words (~2,322 tokens).

“This document describes how to manage module dependencies when working with IntelliJ IDEA codebase.”
