What it does

Jumbo Add Dependency is an agent skill from jumbocontext/cli. Use liberally when you introduce, discover, or upgrade a third-party package or external service. Registers the dependency so future sessions know what the project relies on.

Its SKILL.md is about 370 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 Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: Memory and Context Orchestration for Coding Agents. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Agent Workflows work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/jumbo-add-dependency”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a02a339. 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:

    • pip

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Jumbo Add Dependency loads about 366 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 102 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~366

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.

Add Dependency

Register a third-party dependency with Jumbo when you add a new package, discover an unregistered one, or integrate with an external service.

Before Adding

Check for an existing dependency to avoid duplication. Consider renaming, updating, or deprecating and replacing a previously registered dependency before registering a new one.

Use the search subcommand to locate previously registered dependencies:

bash
jumbo dependencies search -q <query>

Command Syntax

bash
jumbo dependency add \
  --name "<Display name>" \
  --ecosystem "<npm|pip|maven|service|...>" \
  --package-name "<package-identifier>" \
  --version-constraint "<semver-range>"

Bad Example

bash
jumbo dependency add \
  --name "testing lib" \
  --ecosystem npm \
  --package-name jest

Name does not match the package. Missing version constraint means future agents cannot detect version drift or compatibility issues.

Good Example

bash
jumbo dependency add \
  --name "Jest" \
  --ecosystem npm \
  --package-name jest \
  --version-constraint "^29.7.0"

Name matches the package identity. Ecosystem and package name enable automated lookups. Version constraint communicates the compatibility range.
