phantomdep is a local-first dependency firewall designed for AI coding agents. It scans and blocks hallucinated, squatted (slopsquatting), and malicious packages before they are added to a repository. Built with a focus on supply-chain security, it runs entirely locally to prevent external leaks while protecting Python projects from unsafe dependency suggestions generated by AI tools.
In the Other dev tools space, phantomdep takes a focused approach. AI coding agents introducing hallucinated, squatted, or malicious Python dependencies into code repositories. It is built as an open-source project for developers using AI coding agents. The project is open source (MIT). It runs on the command line.
Behind phantomdep is Open Intelligence Labs, and it first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 6 commits in the last 90 days. Among its 4 catalogued features are dependency scanning, hallucination detection, and malicious package blocking.
