Depsdotdev

skill-aaronflorey-agent-skills-depsdotdev · by aaronflorey

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.

About

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

Fast Routing

| If you need to... | Use | Read | |---|---|---| | List versions for a package | GetPackage | references/endpoint-map.md | | Inspect one version (licenses, advisories, links) | GetVersion | references/endpoint-map.md | | Get declared constraints | GetRequirements | references/endpoint-map.md | | Get resolved dependency graph | GetDependencies | references/endpoint-map.md | | Map project repo to package versions | GetProjectPackageVersions | references/endpoint-map.md | | Query by file hash or exact version key | Query | references/endpoint-map.md | | Avoid encoding mistakes | URL/purl rules | references/request-shapes-and-encoding.md | | Handle limits and error cases | batch/query limits | references/limits-errors-and-reliability.md | | Use purl/batch/dependents | v3alpha features | references/v3alpha-extras.md |

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.
