Which package ecosystems does the deps-dev skill support?

It supports a wide range of popular ecosystems including npm, PyPI, Go modules, Cargo (Rust), Maven (Java), NuGet (.NET), and RubyGems.

How does the skill know which ecosystem to use?

The skill includes ecosystem detection logic that scans your project for specific files like package.json, requirements.txt, or go.mod to automatically determine the correct system.

Can I see more than just the latest version?

Yes, by using the --all-versions flag, you can retrieve a history of recent versions for any supported package to see release trends.

Does this skill require a separate API key?

No, the skill uses the public deps.dev API, making it easy to query package data directly within your Claude Code environment without extra configuration.

Is it possible to get machine-readable output?

Yes, the skill supports a --format json flag which provides structured data suitable for automation or programmatic parsing by other scripts.
