What is merge-dependabot-prs?

A workflow for checking and merging Dependabot pull requests. Dependabot is a service that proposes updates to a project’s software dependencies.

It is for processing open Dependabot pull requests, analysing direct and indirect dependency changes, verifying them, merging them sequentially, and producing a summary.

It helps assess related dependency updates together, verify the build and tests, check pinned GitHub Actions versions, and merge changes in order.

Per session 44 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.

Origin unknown No closer match found in the catalogue.

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	$0.00044	$0.00952
Opus 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00381
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00009	$0.00190
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00095

Security

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 2mo 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.

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.

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.
