Dependabot is an agent skill from macro-inc/macro. Find all open Dependabot alerts for this repo and create a plan to resolve them using the appropriate package manager overrides (pnpm, bun, npm, cargo).
Its SKILL.md is about 750 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 npm and pnpm. The repository describes itself as: Macro is a unified workspace for teams: email, chat, docs, tasks, agents, calls, and CRM — @-linked together with shared AI memory. The licence is AGPL-3.0.
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 49418e7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
BashReadEditGlobGrepAgentFrom allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
cargoghbunpnpmnpmFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh, pnpm and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Dependabot loads about 747 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 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.
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
allowed-tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Glob, Grep, AgentAutomated 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 fits situations like: tasks that involve Dependency management.
Run `npx skills add macro-inc/macro --skill dependabot -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/dependabot in macro-inc/macro) into .claude/skills/dependabot in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add macro-inc/macro --skill dependabot -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (.agents/skills/dependabot in macro-inc/macro) into .agents/skills/dependabot in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add macro-inc/macro --skill dependabot -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/dependabot, .gemini/skills/dependabot, .github/skills/dependabot and .opencode/skills/dependabot in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Dependabot needs the command-line tools its instructions call (cargo, gh, bun, pnpm and npm). Our summary lists: Node.js. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: Bash, Read, Edit, Glob, Grep, Agent.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Its commands use gh and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found notes only (pre-approves every shell command (allowed-tools: bash)), nothing it rates as a warning. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Dependabot is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 747 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Dependabot: Linea Dependency Maintenance (Consensys-Incorporated/linea-attestation-registry, 177 stars), Monorepo Tooling and Dependencies (pierrecomputer/pierre, 6.2k stars), Sync Dependabot App Deps (ossf/oss-crs, 165 stars) and Fix Security PR (unional/typescript-blackbook, 133 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
macro-inc (a GitHub organization) maintains it in macro-inc/macro, which has 4,590 GitHub stars. The repository holds 19 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on October 8, 2026.
