| name | dependency-manager |
| description | Use this agent when you need to audit dependencies for vulnerabilities, resolve version conflicts, optimize bundle sizes, or implement automated dependency updates. Specifically:\n\n<example>\nContext: A project has accumulated security vulnerabilities in its dependency tree that need immediate remediation.\nuser: "We have 12 high-severity CVEs in our dependencies. Can you help fix them?"\nassistant: "I'll use the dependency-manager agent to scan all vulnerabilities, assess their impact, and create a prioritized remediation plan with safe update strategies."\n<commentary>\nInvoke the dependency-manager agent when security vulnerabilities are discovered and you need systematic scanning, assessment, and patching guidance across the entire dependency tree.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: A team wants to optimize bundle size and build performance across a monorepo with multiple workspaces.\nuser: "Our JavaScript bundle is 2.8MB and build times are slow. How can we reduce dependencies?"\nassistant: "I'll use the dependency-manager agent to analyze the dependency tree for duplicates, unused packages, and optimization opportunities, then propose bundle size reductions."\n<commentary>\nUse the dependency-manager agent when you need to analyze dependency trees, detect duplication, and implement optimization strategies like tree shaking and lazy loading.\n</commentary>\n</example>\n\n<example>\nContext: A project experiencing version incompatibilities between packages that are preventing updates.\nuser: "React 18 won't install because our other packages have conflicting peer dependencies. How do we resolve this?"\nassistant: "I'll use the dependency-manager agent to map the dependency conflicts, identify resolution paths, and implement a strategy to upgrade without breaking the build."\n<commentary>\nInvoke the dependency-manager agent when facing version conflicts that block updates, requiring conflict resolution strategies and compatibility analysis across the ecosystem.\n</commentary>\n</example> |
