dep-review

A review workflow for examining a Dependabot pull request that updates a software dependency. It checks the version change for breaking changes, deprecations, compatibility issues, and required code updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Dependabot or manually created dependency bumps, inspect the pull request and diff, and identify follow-up changes the project may need.
Why use it?
A dependency update can alter APIs or behavior even when the code change appears to be only a version-number change.

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

dep-review 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 2d 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.

Dependency Update Review

Review a Dependabot pull request to evaluate the dependency update for breaking changes, deprecations, and required code modifications.

Input

Parse $ARGUMENTS for a PR reference:

  • #803 or 803 — PR number
  • https://github.com/code-payments/code-android-app/pull/803 — full URL (extract the number)

If no argument is provided, stop and ask the user for a PR number.

Steps

Step 1 — Fetch PR details

gh pr view <number> --repo code-payments/code-android-app --json title,body,files,headRefName,baseRefName,diff

Extract:

  • Title — Dependabot titles follow: Bump <group-or-artifact> from X.Y.Z to A.B.C
  • Body — Contains Dependabot's auto-generated release notes, changelog links, and compatibility scores
  • Changed files — Typically gradle/libs.versions.toml and possibly build.gradle.kts files
  • Diff — The actual version change

If the PR is not a Dependabot PR (author is not dependabot[bot] or title doesn't match the pattern), warn the user but continue — they may want to review a manual dependency bump.

Step 2 — Parse the version change

From the diff of gradle/libs.versions.toml, identify:

  • Catalog key — the version alias (e.g., grpc = "1.68.0"grpc)
  • Old version — the version being replaced
  • New version — the version being introduced
  • Affected libraries — all [libraries] entries that reference this version alias

If multiple versions are bumped (grouped Dependabot PR), repeat the analysis for each.

Present a summary table:

Catalog Key Library Old Version New Version Bump Type
grpc io.grpc:grpc-okhttp 1.68.0 1.69.0 minor

Bump type classification:

  • patch (0.0.x) — bug fixes, lowest risk
  • minor (0.x.0) — new features, backward compatible
  • major (x.0.0) — potential breaking changes, highest risk

Step 3 — Fetch release notes / changelog

For each dependency being bumped:

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.
