What it does
Dependabot is an agent skill from EmertonData/glide. Handle open dependabot PRs automatically. Finds the oldest open dependabot PR, classifies it, applies the version bump to the branch, merges main to eliminate conflicts, and posts a summary comment. Merging is left to the maintainer. Use this skill whenever the user says "handle dependabot PRs", "take care of dependabot", "process dependabot updates", "triage dependabot", "deal with dependabot", or anything similar about pending dependabot pull requests.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Development, covering Dependency management. It works with Python and GitHub Actions. The repository describes itself as: Helping humans ride the GenAI evaluation wave.
When your agent uses it
- The user says handle dependabot PRs
- Take care of dependabot
- Process dependabot updates
- Triage dependabot
Example prompts
- “handle dependabot PRs”
- “take care of dependabot”
- “process dependabot updates”
- “/dependabot”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Discover open dependabot PRs
- Classify the PR
- Process the PR branch
- Final summary
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 21a9553. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
gitmakeuvgh
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, uv and gh, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Dependabot loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 560 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 560 words (~1,415 tokens).
“Processes the oldest open dependabot PR and makes it ready for maintainer review. Applies the dependency bump to the branch first, then merges the latest main to ensure the branch is conflict-free.”
