CLAUDE.md Dependency Rescan (forked, read-only)
Optional explicit manifest: $ARGUMENTS (default: auto-detect all five manifest types).
Run these steps in order. Do not modify any file.
- Detect manifests. Look for
package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml at the repo root and one level deep (workspaces/monorepos).
- Extract declared dependencies from each:
package.json → keys of dependencies and devDependencies (skip versions).requirements.txt → first token of each non-comment line.pyproject.toml → [project.dependencies] / [tool.poetry.dependencies] keys.go.mod → module paths under require (...).Cargo.toml → keys under [dependencies] / [dev-dependencies].
- Inventory documented deps in every
CLAUDE.md (and .claude/rules/*.md): grep for the Tech Stack / Dependencies sections and the lists under them.
- Compute three sets per file:
added: in manifest but absent from this CLAUDE.md.removed: documented in this CLAUDE.md but absent from manifest.renamed: documented and present in manifest but spelled differently (react-router vs react-router-dom, pg vs psycopg2).
- Return in this exact shape:
## Dependency Rescan
Manifests detected: <list>
Total declared deps: <count>
### Per file
#### <path-to-CLAUDE.md>
- Added (in manifest, not documented): <list or "none">
- Removed (documented, not in manifest): <list or "none">
- Renamed / aliased: <list or "none">
- If every documented set matches its manifest, return exactly
## Dependency Rescan\n\nAll documented deps match manifests. <M> files inspected.. Do not pad.
Hard rule: do not propose specific edits — just surface the diffs. decides whether to write them.
