Audit, update, and secure project dependencies across npm, pnpm, Yarn, pip, Pipenv, Poetry, uv, Go, Cargo, Bundler, Composer, NuGet, Maven, Gradle, Swift, pub, and Hex, plus Docker base images, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and dev container features. Finds outdated, unused, and undeclared packages; applies updates; withholds releases too new to have been vetted; ranks vulnerabilities by exploitation evidence; screens supply-chain risk; fixes breaking changes forward; and verifies builds and tests.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Dependency Doctor

Audit and update project dependencies across package managers. Keep packages current, remove dependencies that add no value, explicitly declare what the
project imports, and fix compatibility issues forward.

Two references carry the per-ecosystem detail. Open
[ecosystem commands](references/ecosystem-commands.md) before running any update
or validation command, and [security and supply-chain checks](references/security-checks.md)
before any audit, release-age, screening, or override decision. Never guess a
command or a configuration key that one of them records.

## Core rules

- Never downgrade or revert a dependency update to avoid fixing a compatibility
  break. Update the affected code for the supported release instead. When an
  update cannot be safely resolved, stop and explain the blocker rather than
  silently reverting it or hiding it behind a force flag.
- Do not make a commit, branch, push, or pull request unless a dependency-bearing
  file has a meaningful change: a dependency version, an immutable pin such as an
  action SHA or image digest, or a dependency policy such as a release-age
  setting or an override.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jongio/skills/deps-doctor@sha256:11f9d3ab8f93876b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
