What it does

Dependency Management is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Dependency management specialist. Use when updating dependencies, scanning for vulnerabilities, analyzing dependency trees, or ensuring license compliance. Handles npm, pip, maven, and other package managers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/dependency-audit.template.md`, `references/package-managers.md` and `scripts/parse-dependencies.py`).

It sits in Development, covering Dependency management and Regulatory compliance. It works with npm and Gradle. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

When your agent uses it

  • Updating dependencies
  • Scanning for vulnerabilities
  • Analyzing dependency trees
  • Ensuring license compliance

Example prompts

  • “/dependency-management”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Dependencies
  2. Scan for Vulnerabilities
  3. Check Licenses
  4. Update Dependencies

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad8daf7. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • python
    • pip
    • mvn
    • gradle

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm and 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

Dependency Management loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 266 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 266 words (~1,075 tokens).

“This skill manages project dependencies including updates, vulnerability scanning, license compliance, and dependency tree optimization.”
