bump-dependency

bump-dependency is a skill for Claude Code from NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge. It costs 66 tokens per session (3,291 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to updating a pinned dependency, a library version fixed to a specific revision, in Megatron Bridge. It covers lockfile updates, pull requests, automated checks, and handling failing tests during the update.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update Transformer Engine, Megatron-LM, NRX, or similar dependencies, regenerate the lockfile, monitor CI, and quarantine tests identified as flaky.
Why use it?
It helps manage dependency changes that can affect GPU-heavy training code and expose intermittent test failures. The documented workflow shows how to determine whether failures are real or flaky.

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

bump-dependency 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 1mo 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.

Bump Dependency

End-to-end workflow for shipping a dependency bump in Megatron Bridge. Optimised for the case where TE, MCore, or another GPU-heavy pin moves forward — which often surfaces flakes that have to be quarantined before the PR can land.

The pipeline is always: edit → relock → push → /ok to test → watchdog → quarantine on red → re-trigger → repeat until green.

When to reach for this skill

  • Bumping a git-source pin in pyproject.toml override-dependencies (e.g. transformer-engine @ git+...@<ref>).
  • Bumping the 3rdparty/Megatron-LM submodule.
  • Any change that touches uv.lock and needs the full L0 + L1 matrix to prove out before merge.

For pure dep additions/removals without a CI loop, the build-and-dependency skill is enough.

Required context

Read first, then follow the steps below:

  • @CONTRIBUTING.md — PR title/label policy, DCO sign-off
  • @skills/build-and-dependency/SKILL.md — uv lock mechanics, container choice
  • @skills/cicd/SKILL.md — how copy-pr-bot and /ok to test work
  • @skills/testing/SKILL.md — active/ vs flaky/ directory layout, git mv quarantine recipe

Step 1 — Worktree and edit

Create a worktree off main per @CLAUDE.md. Then, before any uv lock:

git submodule update --init 3rdparty/Megatron-LM

The submodule must be initialised in the worktree or uv lock errors with "not a Python project" on the MCore path.

Edit the pin. For TE the canonical knob is the override line in pyproject.toml:

override-dependencies = [
    ...
    "transformer-engine @ git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/TransformerEngine.git@<new-ref>",
    ...
]

Use a branch name (release_v2.15) only when you want to track a moving tip; use a full SHA for reproducibility. TE branches use release_vX.Y (underscore), not release/vX.Y. Verify with git ls-remote https://github.com/NVIDIA/TransformerEngine.git.

Step 2 — Regenerate the lockfile

Run uv lock inside the project container per @skills/build-and-dependency/SKILL.md "Regenerating uv.lock". Then confirm only the intended packages moved:
