Keep a project's dependencies healthy on a schedule: audit for known vulnerabilities and over-stale pins, apply ONE safe update (or a vuln fix) per pass, run the full gate to prove the update is non-breaking, and open or update a PR — looping on a sprint cadence with HITL on every major version bump and never auto-merging. Use when you want deps watched while you build, want security advisories acted on a cadence, want lockfiles kept fresh without breaking the build, or want a dependency audit…
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-health-loop > **A configuration of [`loop-controller`].** That skill supplies the loop > machinery — primitive selection, the full guardrail stack, state > externalization. This skill supplies the three things specific to "keep deps > healthy": the **per-pass recipe** (audit → one safe bump → gate → PR), a > **mechanical proof** that combines a security/freshness audit with a green gate > after every update, and the **HITL boundary** that holds majors for a human. > Read `loop-controller` for the guardrails; they're inherited, not repeated > here. > > **Why `disable-model-invocation`:** this loop edits the lockfile, commits, and > pushes branches on its own, on a clock. It is user-driven — you want to *type* > `/loop 30m /dependency-health-loop` (or `/dependency-health-loop`), not have > Claude silently start bumping packages because an advisory landed. ## The 5-part contract | Part | This loop | |---|---| | **trigger** | a sprint in flight (deps drifting / new advisories), scheduled via `/loop 30m /dependency-health-loop`, or an explicit `/dependency-health-loop` | …

How to install
mdr add ivy00johns/skill-madness/dependency-health-loop@sha256:4e659744f6f24b77The 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.
