What it does

Bump Sentry Dependency is an agent skill from getsentry/sentry, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Bumps an existing Python dependency in getsentry/sentry through the repository's self-serve GitHub Actions workflow. Use when asked to update, upgrade, or bump a Python package version in Sentry. Does not apply to new dependencies, JavaScript packages, or informational questions about dependency management.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `SOURCES.md` and `SPEC.md`).

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Dependency management and CI/CD. It works with Sentry, Python, GitHub Actions and JavaScript. The repository describes itself as: Developer-first error tracking and performance monitoring.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to update
  • Bump a Python package version in Sentry

Example prompts

  • “Use the bump-sentry-dependency skill to bump an existing Python dependency in getsentry/sentry through the repository's self-serve GitHub Actions…”
  • “/bump-sentry-dependency”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm the package is in [project].dependencies or the dev dependency
  2. Resolve the exact target version. If the user says latest, determine the
  3. Check for an existing PR from

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 87d1203. 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:

    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use 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

Bump Sentry Dependency loads about 815 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~815

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 396 words (~815 tokens).

“For an existing Python dependency, prefer .github/workflows/bump-version.yml over editing pyproject.toml and uv.lock locally. The workflow creates a non-draft PR when it produces a diff; it does not approve or merge the PR.”
