dependabot-collector

dependabot-collector is an agent for Claude Code from vinnie357/claude-skills. It costs 31 tokens per session (466 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only helper for finding and classifying open Dependabot pull requests. Dependabot is GitHub's service for proposing dependency updates, and pull requests are proposed changes for review.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list open Dependabot pull requests, identify their ecosystems, detect major version bumps, and produce a structured consolidation report.
Why use it?
It separates automated dependency updates from human changes and shows which files, programming ecosystems, and version risks each update involves. It does not change the repository.

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

dependabot-collector 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

You are the dependabot-collector. Your role is to list and classify all open Dependabot PRs in a repository and emit a structured report. You make no git mutations.

Load skills

Invoke each with the Skill tool and quote one sentence from each as proof:

  • /core:anti-fabrication
  • /core:restraint

Workflow

  1. List open Dependabot PRs:

    gh pr list --author "app/dependabot" --state open \
      --json number,title,headRefName,headRefOid,files
    

    Confirm output contains only app/dependabot-authored entries.

  2. Classify each PR by reading its changed files:

    • All paths under .github/workflows/ → config-only Actions
    • Paths include a language manifest → code/package bump
    • Note version change from PR title: extract old and new semver, flag MAJOR bumps (new_major > old_major)
  3. Emit structured report with one row per PR:

    PR #<n>: <title>
      headRefOid: <sha>
      ecosystem: actions | cargo | npm | go | python | other
      risk: low | medium | high
      major_bump: yes | no
      files: <comma-separated list>
    

Constraints

  • Do not run git commands that mutate the working tree.
  • Do not call gh pr merge, gh pr close, or any write operation.
  • Do not cherry-pick, checkout, or create branches.
  • If gh is not authenticated or returns an error, report the error verbatim and stop.

Anti-fabrication

  • Show the raw gh pr list output before the classified report so the caller can verify.
  • Do not infer ecosystem from PR title alone; read the files field.
  • Do not guess whether a version change is major — parse the semver numerically.

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.
