What it does

Renovate Review is an agent skill from commercetools/ui-kit. Review Renovate dependency upgrade PRs to assess safety and effort. Use when reviewing PRs from Renovate bot that update NPM dependencies.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Code migrations and Design systems. It works with npm. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing PRs from Renovate bot that update NPM dependencies
  • Tasks that involve Code migrations
  • Tasks that involve Design systems

Example prompts

  • “/renovate-review”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Grep, Glob, Read, WebFetch

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Gather PR Information
  2. Analyze Upgrade Type
  3. Analyze Codebase Impact
  4. Generate Safety Assessment
  5. Post the Comment (if --comment flag provided)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62ca335. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Read
    • WebFetch

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Renovate Review loads about 907 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 313 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~907

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    allowed-tools: Bash, Grep, Glob, Read, WebFetch

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Renovate Dependency Upgrade Review

Review a Renovate PR to assess the safety and effort required to merge a dependency upgrade.

Arguments

  • pr-number (required): The PR number to review
  • --comment (optional): Post the assessment as a PR comment. If omitted, only output the review locally.

Process

1. Gather PR Information
bash
gh pr view $ARGUMENTS --json title,body,files

Extract the following information:

  • Package name being upgraded
  • Previous version and new version
  • Determine upgrade type: patch, minor, or major
2. Analyze Upgrade Type
Semantic Versioning

We assume packages follow Semantic Versioning. Fix and minor should contain no breaking changes per semver

In all cases you must:

  • Focus on verifying the upgrade doesn't introduce regressions
  • Check if CI passes
Major Upgrades
  1. Research breaking changes by:

    • Fetching the GitHub releases page: https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>/releases
    • Looking for a CHANGELOG.md in the repository
    • Checking the package's migration guide if available
  2. Identify which breaking changes may affect this codebase

3. Analyze Codebase Impact

Search for usage of the upgraded package:

  1. Find imports/requires of the package
  2. Identify which files and features depend on it
  3. For major upgrades: check if any deprecated/removed APIs are used
4. Generate Safety Assessment

Create a markdown comment with the following structure:

markdown
## Dependency Upgrade Review: `<package-name>`

<!-- For High risk only, add at the top: -->

> [!CAUTION]
> Breaking changes affect this codebase. Code changes required before merge.

<!-- For Medium risk only, add at the top: -->

> [!WARNING]
> Major upgrade with breaking changes. Review recommended.

`<old>` → `<new>` (**patch** / **minor** / **major**)

**Risk:** Low / Medium / High
**Impact:** <count> files
**Recommendation:** Safe to merge / Review recommended / Changes required

<one-line explanation>

<details>
<summary>Affected files</summary>

- `path/to/file.ts`
- ...

</details>

<!-- For major upgrades only: -->
<details>
<summary>Breaking changes</summary>

- <breaking change 1>
- <breaking change 2>

</details>

<details>
<summary>Required code changes</summary>

- <change 1>
- <change 2>

<!-- Or "None" if no changes needed -->

</details>
5. Post the Comment (if --comment flag provided)

Only post the comment to the PR if the --comment flag was included in the arguments.

If --comment is provided:

bash
gh pr comment <pr-number> --body "<assessment>"

If --comment is NOT provided, skip this step and only display the assessment locally.

Rating Guidelines

Risk:

  • Low: Patch/minor upgrade, or major with no relevant breaking changes
  • Medium: Major upgrade with breaking changes that don't affect current usage
  • High: Major upgrade with breaking changes that affect current usage

Impact:

  • Low: < 5 files, simple usage patterns
  • Medium: 5-20 files, moderate complexity
  • High: > 20 files, or critical infrastructure dependency

Recommendation:

  • Safe to merge: CI passes, no breaking changes affect us
  • Review recommended: Minor concerns, human review advised
  • Changes required: Code modifications needed before merge
