What is verify-dependabot-prs?

A workflow for reviewing and combining Dependabot pull requests, which are automated proposals to update software dependencies.

Use it to inspect the Dependabot queue, validate dependency-update changes, investigate CI failures, and create a checked consolidated pull request.

It helps check dependency updates consistently, reproduce failures, and avoid accepting versions that are too new or cannot be verified.

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	$0.00058	$0.00978
Opus 5	$0.00029	$0.00489
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00196
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00098

Security

Grade A, and why

verify-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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/dependabot_batch.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 80 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Verify Dependabot PRs

Use scripts/dependabot_batch.py for discovery, isolated validation, caching, and publication. Keep the user's current worktree untouched.

Workflow

Run discovery from the repository root:

python3 .skills/verify-dependabot-prs/scripts/dependabot_batch.py discover

Inspect every selected PR before executing dependency code:
- Confirm it is authored by Dependabot and targets the default branch.
- Review its manifest and lockfile changes.
- Enforce the 7-day release cooldown for direct and changed transitive versions using authoritative registry or release metadata.
- Defer a PR if any changed version is too new or its publication time cannot be verified.
- Record the checked PR number, exact head SHA, versions, publication dates, and conclusion in a JSON cooldown report. Use this shape:
```
{
  "checkedAt": "2026-07-10T18:00:00Z",
  "prs": {
    "344": {
      "headSha": "full commit SHA",
      "status": "eligible",
      "summary": "All changed versions were published at least 7 days ago."
    }
  }
}
```
Use current CI as evidence and prioritization, not as a substitute for local validation:
- Batch PRs whose verify-generated, test-go, test-java, and test-site jobs are green.
- Isolate CI-red PRs initially so a known failure does not contaminate the green batch.
- Treat fail-fast cancellations as secondary to the first failed job.
- Put PRs with overlapping files or merge conflicts into separate ordered batches.
- A missing CI run may be expected for paths ignored by .github/workflows/ci.yml; report it explicitly.

Dry-run the selected batch:

python3 .skills/verify-dependabot-prs/scripts/dependabot_batch.py run \
  --prs 344 346 347 \
  --cooldown-report /absolute/path/cooldown.json \
  --dry-run

Validate the batch. The runner creates a disposable wt worktree and devcontainer, merges the exact PR heads onto the latest default-branch SHA, and runs these gates sequentially:
- task generate, then require a clean Git worktree.
- task test.
- task test:site.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.

Changes

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.
