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 | $0.00066 | $0.01066 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00533 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00213 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00107 |
Grade A, and why
merge-dependabot-prs 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 9d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 124 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Merge Dependabot PRs
Automate the Dependabot PR backlog: merge everything that's green, fix trivial failures, and surface a clear report of what needs human attention.
Step 0 — Determine Scope
Default: target the current repository.
# Detect the repo you're working in
gh repo view --json nameWithOwner -q .nameWithOwner
# or fallback:
git remote get-url origin
If the user's prompt explicitly names a different scope, use that instead:
| Scope | Example prompt | Command |
|---|---|---|
| Single repo | "in org/repo" |
gh pr list --repo org/repo ... |
| All repos for a user | "all my repos" | gh repo list <user> --json nameWithOwner |
| All repos in an org | "all repos in the Acme org" | gh repo list <org> --json nameWithOwner |
⚠️ Multi-repo scope must be explicitly requested. Never expand scope beyond the current repo unless the user clearly asks for it.
See references/scope.md for edge cases and disambiguation rules.
Step 1 — List Dependabot PRs
gh pr list --repo <owner/repo> \
--author app/dependabot \
--json number,title,headRefName,statusCheckRollup,mergeable,baseRefName \
--state open
Separate PRs into:
- Green: all required checks passed, mergeable
- Failing / pending: one or more checks failed or still running
- Blocked: merge conflicts or branch protection issues
Step 2 — Merge Green PRs
For each green PR, merge in order (oldest first to reduce rebase churn):
gh pr merge <number> --repo <owner/repo> --merge
If the merge is blocked by branch protection (e.g. requires admin), use:
gh pr merge <number> --repo <owner/repo> --merge --admin
After merging, trigger Dependabot to rebase the remaining open PRs:
gh pr comment <number> --repo <owner/repo> --body "@dependabot rebase"
Wait for Dependabot to finish rebasing (poll gh pr view until headRefOid changes or
the PR is no longer in a rebasing state), then re-check CI before merging the next one.
What ships with it
4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

merge-dependabot-prs is a skill published in the GitHub repository Addono/gh-attach (3 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 1,066 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
