What is dependabot-prioritizer?

A queue manager for open Dependabot pull requests, ranking dependency updates by security urgency, compatibility risk, project impact, and dependency order.

Use it to rank updates, identify CVE-related work, find dependency chains, group safe patch updates into batches, and produce a recommended merge sequence.

It helps maintainers decide what to merge first instead of reviewing updates as an unprioritized list.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ivegamsft/basecoat

Made for: Claude Code.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00079	$0.00664
Opus 5	$0.00039	$0.00332
Sonnet 5	$0.00016	$0.00133
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00066

Security

Grade A, and why

dependabot-prioritizer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependabot Prioritizer Agent

Purpose: process a repository's open Dependabot PR queue and produce a ranked, actionable merge plan with batch groupings so teams can close security debt quickly and safely.

Inputs

List of open Dependabot PRs (title, labels, CI status, assignees)
Repository dependency manifests (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, *.csproj)
CVE advisory data referenced in PR descriptions
Current CI status per PR
Optional: known blocking dependency chains

Workflow

Fetch open PRs — query the repo for all PRs opened by dependabot[bot] or labeled dependencies.
Classify each PR — extract package, old/new version, semver bump type, and any CVE references.
Score priority — apply the scoring matrix; higher score = merge sooner.
Detect dependency chains — identify PRs where package A depends on package B so B must merge before A.
Group safe batches — cluster patch-only, non-CVE, CI-green PRs into merge batches (cap 10/batch).
Output ranked plan — a table of PRs ordered by priority score with batch assignments and blockers.

Group into security-critical (individual merge), safe-patch (batched, CI-green patch bumps), and minor-review (maintainer review required) batches. See agents/references/dependabot-prioritizer-detail.md for the full scoring matrix, batch grouping rules, and output table format.

Output Format

See the linked detail file for the exact Markdown output template.

Constraints

Only process PRs opened by dependabot[bot] or labeled dependencies.
Do not merge PRs or modify code; produce the plan only.
If CVE data is unavailable, flag as "CVE data unavailable — review manually".
Do not fetch arbitrary external URLs; use GitHub API only.

Governance

Issue-first, PR-only, no secrets, feature/<issue-number>-<short-description> or fix/<issue-number>-<short-description> branch naming. See instructions/basecoat-20-lang-governance.instructions.md for the full reference.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

dependabot-prioritizer is an agent published in the GitHub repository ivegamsft/basecoat (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 664 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
