dependabot-triage

dependabot-triage is a skill for Claude Code from infohata/mind-vault. It costs 190 tokens per session (3,556 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for reviewing and merging accumulated Dependabot pull requests. Dependabot is a service that automatically proposes dependency updates.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for batching dependency updates in Python projects with several requirements files, including projects that store browser files in the repository.
Why use it?
It helps identify real duplicates, group updates by risk, and verify changes without mixing unrelated failures.

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-triage 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 10d 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 — 195 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dependabot-triage

A workflow for processing 5–20 accumulated Dependabot PRs as one coherent sweep instead of one-PR-at-a-time fatigue. The non-obvious pieces are (1) two PRs touching the same package are not necessarily duplicates when the repo has multiple requirements files served by separate dependabot ecosystems, and (2) risk-tier batching with one commit per dep preserves git bisect even when the PR ships a bundle.

Vendored-static variant. If the repo tracks vendored browser assets via a synthetic package.json (npm ecosystem) + a re-vendor CI workflow that commits refreshed static/ bytes onto the PR branch, the sweep has its own failure modes (PRs stuck unstable on stale map src paths; major bumps need a revendor-map src change, not a byte refresh; consolidation as the unblock when CI is wedged and the bot can't recreate). Read references/VENDORED_STATIC_REVENDOR.md alongside the steps below.

When to use

TRIGGER when:

  • A pile of Dependabot PRs has accumulated and the user asks for a roadmap to merge them.
  • Two PRs look like duplicates but the user is unsure whether to close one.
  • A version-scheme jump (e.g. pre-1.0 → post-1.0, or 0.0.x → 1.x.x) is mixed in with low-risk patch bumps and the user wants to know how to split them.
  • A dep PR floor-bumps a package that's actively used somewhere subtle (Vertex / OpenAI / Stripe / etc.) — needs targeted smoke beyond the test suite.

SKIP when:

  • Single Dependabot PR with no version-scheme jumps and no actively-used SDK — just merge it.
  • Repo has only one requirements file and one ecosystem — the multi-ecosystem nuance doesn't apply, simpler triage.
  • Security-only batch where every PR must merge same day — risk-tier batching is overkill, ship them as one or sequentially.

What ships with it

1 file 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.
