Is the Composer Dependencies skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from krzysztofsurdy/code-virtuoso. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Composer Dependencies SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install Composer Dependencies?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Composer Dependencies with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Follows a genuinely disciplined update cycle (audit, changelog-first, small batches, why-not before major bumps) that a generic answer skips entirely -- the skill-guided plan surfaced composer why-not and a post-update re-audit that the baseline answer never mentioned.

What Composer Dependencies does

Guides PHP dependency updates through a changelog-first, small-batch, audit-then-verify cycle covering composer audit, Dependabot/Renovate config, version-constraint strategy, and abandoned-package replacement. Triggers when a user asks to update Composer packages, audit for vulnerabilities, manage composer.lock, or resolve version conflicts.
