Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill
What it does
The analyze-deps skill analyzes project dependencies, identifying potential conflicts or outdated packages. It can generate a report detailing these issues and suggest upgrade paths. This helps ensure projects have stable and secure dependency chains.
When to use it
- Troubleshooting build errors: Use when encountering unexpected errors during builds that might be related to conflicting library versions.
- Security audits: Employ this skill to identify vulnerable dependencies in a project, prompting timely updates.
- Preparing for major upgrades: Before upgrading a framework or language version, analyze dependencies to anticipate and address potential compatibility issues.
- Maintaining code health: Regularly use it as part of your development workflow to proactively manage dependency versions.
Key capabilities
- Dependency analysis
- Conflict detection
- Outdated package identification
- Report generation
- Upgrade suggestions
Example prompts
- "Analyze the dependencies in my
package.jsonfile." - "Generate a report of outdated packages in this project."
- "Identify any conflicting versions within these requirements."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires access to a project's dependency manifest (e.g., package.json, requirements.txt). Ensure the AI agent has appropriate permissions to read these files for accurate analysis.
