Dependency Manager

Purpose

Provide an explicit dependency-management surface for Harnessy skills and scripts so runtime dependencies are checked, planned, and installed with user approval instead of silently provisioned.

Inputs

• Optional subcommand: check, plan, or install

• Optional flags: --manifest <path>, --skills-root <path>, --json, --dry-run, --include-optional

• Template paths are resolved from ${AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT}/dependency-manager/.

Steps

1. Follow the command contract in ${AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT}/dependency-manager/commands/dependency-manager.md.
2. Use the installed flow-deps command for deterministic dependency inspection.
3. Ask the user before invoking flow-deps install ... unless they explicitly requested installation.
4. Keep manifests as the source of truth for runtime requirements.
5. Use --include-optional when the user explicitly asks to install provider/capability extras.

Output

• Dependency plans for one manifest or all installed skills.
• Availability and authentication checks for declared tools.
• Explicit installation results for missing packages or tools.
