What it does

Dependabot Consolidation is an agent skill from sillsdev/FieldWorks. Combine several open Dependabot pull requests into a single branch and PR: enumerate the open Dependabot PRs, cherry-pick them onto fresh main, rewrite commit messages to satisfy .github/commit-guidelines.md, verify locally, push, open the combined PR, wait for CI, and close the superseded PRs once it is green. Use when asked to combine, consolidate, batch, roll up, or squash together existing Dependabot PRs.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k 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 and Pull requests. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: FieldWorks is a suite of software tools for language and cultural data, with support for complex scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to combine
  • Squash together existing Dependabot PRs

Example prompts

  • “/dependabot-consolidation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Enumerate
  2. Gate 1: the plan
  3. Construct the branch
  4. Verify locally
  5. Gate 2: push and open
  6. Wait for CI
  7. Gate 3: close the superseded PRs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 489ed1b. 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:

    • git
    • gh

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git 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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • CODECOV_TOKEN

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

Context cost

Dependabot Consolidation loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,684 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.5k

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 1,684 words (~3,518 tokens).

“Turn several open Dependabot pull requests into one reviewable pull request, so the repository pays for one CI cycle instead of one per bump. In scope: open PRs authored by app/dependabot against one base. Out of scope: human-authored dependency PRs…”
