Use the deps.dev API, also called Open Source Insights, to fetch package metadata, versions, dependency graphs, advisories, project mappings, and hash lookups. Use this skill when the user mentions deps.dev, Open Source Insights, package or version lookups, dependency intelligence, resolved dependency graphs, purl lookups, advisory queries, or integrating the deps.dev API into code.

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

8 rules. About 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 8 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈0

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 8

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  4. Very specific:

    Use canonical values returned in responses (packageKey, versionKey, projectKey) for follow-up calls

  5. Very specific:

    Call GetPackage if version is missing.

    line 37
  6. Very specific:

    Call GetVersion for license/advisory/provenance metadata.

    line 38
  7. Very specific:

    Add GetRequirements and GetDependencies when user asks "declared" vs "resolved" dependency questions.

    line 39
  8. Very specific:

    If input is a hash or purl, use Query or v3alpha purl endpoints.

    line 40

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

deps.dev API

Use this skill to map package coordinates (system/name/version) to high-signal dependency intelligence from Open Source Insights.

Start Here

  • Prefer stable API base: https://api.deps.dev/v3
  • Use v3alpha only when you need purl and batch endpoints
  • Percent-encode all path/query values before sending requests
  • Use canonical values returned in responses (packageKey, versionKey, projectKey) for follow-up calls

Minimal Workflow

  1. Normalize user input into {system, name, version?}.
  2. Call GetPackage if version is missing; prefer isDefault or newest published version.
  3. Call GetVersion for license/advisory/provenance metadata.
  4. Add GetRequirements and GetDependencies when user asks "declared" vs "resolved" dependency questions.
  5. If input is a hash or purl, use Query or v3alpha purl endpoints.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
