Vet a new or changed third-party dependency for license, provenance, and supply-chain risk before any install runs.
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
# /ca-add-dep — dependency review
For every security policy reference below, follow `<plugin-root>/includes/knowledge.md`
("Read security policy before a security decision"): select the repository's
context format, read the complete policy from exact `CTX-SECURITY-CONTROLS`
records in HTML mode or the full Markdown controls in Markdown mode, and read
operative scope blocks when applicable. Required policy that is missing or
unreadable blocks a security decision; scope blocks alone are not full policy.
Gate a new or changed third-party dependency through review before it lands. When you route through
this command, the orchestrator runs no install until the `dependency-reviewer` agent clears the
package. Specify the exact version if you have one; without one, the reviewer evaluates the latest
available version.
## Routes to
The `dependency-reviewer` agent (`<plugin-root>/agents/dependency-reviewer.md`). The agent
reads `<project-root>/.codearbiter/security-controls.md` (allowed/denied licenses, provenance
and supply-chain policy) and the format-selected tech-stack document
(`<plugin-root>/includes/knowledge.md`; stack fit, dependency
manager) to judge the package.

How to install
mdr add arbiterforge/codearbiter/ca-add-dep@sha256:c884faabcadff97fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.6e96d09, 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.
