Safely resolve and install isolated dependencies for isolated sandboxes (PoC execution).

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the dependency-manager skill

Proceed with these steps to ensure isolated execution while bypassing full installer locks.

Instructions:

  1. Locate and Read Dependency Files:
    • Use an MCP read_file tool to locate and read the closest dependency manifest files walking up from the targetFile coordinate.
    • TypeScript/Node.js: Grab package.json and package-lock.json.
    • Python: Grab requirements.txt or Pipfile.lock.
    • C++: Check for conanfile.txt or CMakeLists.txt.
    • Go: Grab go.mod and go.sum.
    • Java: Grab pom.xml (Maven) or build.gradle/build.gradle.kts (Gradle).
  2. Extract Version Constraints:
    • Read the manifest files to find the exact version constraints for packages used in the PoC/verification code.
  3. Bypass Full Installs (Node.js):
    • Instruct commands to utilize prefixes like npm_config_cache=.npx_cache so downloads bypass global proxy auth locks.
  4. Write Deterministic Running Script:
    • Generate a standalone dependency runner file on disk named deterministically e.g., install_deps_<target_file_base>.sh (or .js/.py).
  5. Trigger Isolated Execute:
    • Call the install_dependencies Tool passing the absolute path to the generated script in the scriptPath argument AND providing targetFile as an argument to let the tool calculate isolated execution contexts.
