What it does
Dependabot PR Review is an agent skill from kernitus/BukkitOldCombatMechanics. Use for Dependabot PRs, dependency bumps, Gradle or Maven dependency updates, GitHub Actions updates, dependency changelog/licence/release-note review, JVM/classfile checks, and validation recommendations.
Its SKILL.md is about 880 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, Changelog and release notes and Pull requests. It works with GitHub Actions, Gradle and Java. The repository describes itself as: Minecraft plugin to configure combat mechanics for 1.9 onwards. The licence is MPL-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- Dependency bumps
- Maven dependency updates
- GitHub Actions updates
- Dependency changelog/licence/release-note review
Example prompts

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e66e7a9. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 PR Review loads about 882 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 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.

Dependabot PR Review
Use this skill when reviewing dependency or workflow version updates. Keep the review evidence-based, scoped to the changed dependency, and explicit about what must be checked before merge.
Cross-load related skills
- Use
integration-test-verificationfor integration-test matrix selection, compact failure triage, Kotest registration, or any full integration log hand-off. - Use
compatibility-strategyfor Java 8, Bukkit/Paper/Spigot, NMS/reflection, PacketEvents, fake-player, or API compatibility concerns. - Use
release-readiness-reviewfor licence, shaded dependency, release-note, publishing, or asset-impact questions.
Review workflow
- Identify the update manager, dependency scope, touched files, and whether the dependency is production, compile-only, test-only, integration-test-only, or GitHub Actions.
- Read the PR diff and the upstream release notes, changelog, migration guide, and security notes for every updated version range.
- Check licence changes and whether the dependency ships in the release jar, shaded jar, or integration-test jar.
- Check JVM bytecode, classfile version, toolchain, and Gradle module metadata against main Java 8 support and the integration-test Java bands.
- Check Bukkit/Paper/Spigot compatibility when the dependency is server-facing, API-adjacent, PacketEvents-adjacent, or affects plugin loading.
- Check shading, relocation, service files, transitive dependency, and duplicate class risks, especially for anything bundled into the plugin jar.
- For GitHub Actions bumps, check Node/runtime changes, runner image requirements, permission model changes, and deprecated input/output behaviour.
- Inspect CI status and rerun the narrowest relevant validation where appropriate; prefer static checks for documentation-only or metadata-only bumps.
- Root and user-facing agents must not open
build/integration-test-logs/*.logdirectly. If compact summaries are insufficient, delegate full integration log inspection to a subagent.

Validation expectations
- Do not skip, weaken, disable, or version-gate tests to make a dependency update pass.
- Match validation to risk: build metadata can often use wrapper/config checks; runtime libraries may need unit or integration tests; server-facing changes may need selected Paper matrix runs.
- Prefer checking the produced dependency graph or shaded jar contents when packaging impact is plausible.
Verdicts
merge: low-risk update, relevant notes reviewed, CI/validation is green, and no follow-up is needed.merge after checks: likely safe, but wait for named CI jobs, dependency graph checks, or narrow validation.hold: compatibility, licence, packaging, JVM, server API, or validation concerns need investigation or code changes.close/ignore: update is incompatible, not useful for this branch, duplicates another update, or should be deferred by policy.
