dependency-management skillA

dependency-management is agent-read markdown (skill) from jnpiyush/agentx: Manage dependencies with version pinning, lock files, vulnerability scanning, and update strategies. Use when adding new packages, pinning dependency versions, scanning for vulnerabilities, updating outdated dependencies, or managing monorepo dependency graphs..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Dependency Management

> **Purpose**: Manage third-party dependencies securely and reliably. 
> **Goal**: Reproducible builds, no vulnerable packages, controlled updates. 
> **Note**: For implementation, see [C# Development](../../languages/csharp/SKILL.md) or [Python Development](../../languages/python/SKILL.md).

## When to Use This Skill

- Adding new packages or libraries
- Pinning dependency versions for reproducibility
- Scanning for known vulnerabilities
- Updating outdated dependencies safely
- Managing monorepo dependency graphs

## Prerequisites

- Package manager installed (npm, pip, NuGet, cargo, etc.)

## Decision Tree

```
Dependency concern?
+- Adding new dependency?
| +- Actively maintained? (commits in last 6 months) -> Proceed
| +- License compatible? (MIT/Apache -> OK, GPL -> careful)
| +- Too many transitive deps? -> Consider lighter alternative
| - Can you build it in < 1 hour? -> Maybe don't add dependency
+- Updating dependencies?
| +- Patch update (0.0.x) -> Usually safe, auto-update
| +- Minor update (0.x.0) -> Review changelog, test
| - Major update (x.0.0) -> Review breaking changes, plan migration
+- Vulnerability found?

How to install

Latest version
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/dependency-management@v1.0.0
Exact content
mdr add jnpiyush/agentx/dependency-management@sha256:2101f56fd99b11b6

Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
