Find open Dependabot PRs for the current GitHub repo, compare each PR head to its base branch, replay only the net dependency changes in a fresh worktree and branch, run npm validation, then commit, push, and open a pull request labeled dependencies. Use when you want to batch or manually replicate active Dependabot updates.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
12 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 8 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈4
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
8
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Dependabot PR Rollup
When to use
Use this skill when the user wants to:
- find all open Dependabot PRs in the current repo
- reproduce their net effect in one local branch
- validate the result with the repo's standard npm checks
- commit and push the validated changes, then open a PR labeled
dependencies
Workflow
- Inspect the current checkout state, but do not reuse a dirty worktree.
- List open Dependabot PRs with
gh pr list --state open --author app/dependabot. - For each PR, collect the title, base branch, head branch, changed files, and relevant diffs.
- Compare each PR head against
origin/<base>instead of trusting the PR title. Dependabot PRs can already be partially merged, superseded by newer versions, or have no remaining net effect. - Create a new worktree and branch from
origin/<base>. - Reproduce only the remaining dependency changes in the new worktree.
- Inspect
package.jsonbefore editing. - Run
npm ci --ignore-scriptsbefore applying updates. - Use
npm install ... --ignore-scriptsfor direct dependency changes sopackage-lock.jsonstays in sync. - When updating
@biomejs/biome, also update the Biome schema URL version inbiome.jsonto match the installed Biome version.
- Inspect
- Run
npm run all. - Commit the changed source, lockfile, and generated artifacts, then push the branch.
- Always open a pull request for the rollup and add the
dependencieslabel to it. Pass--label dependenciestogh pr create, or add the label immediately afterward withgh pr edit --add-label dependencies.
Repo-specific notes
- Use
ghfor GitHub operations. - Keep the user's original checkout untouched by working in a separate worktree.
- In this repo,
npm run allis the safest validation command because it runs build, check, package, and test. - If dependency changes affect bundled output, include the regenerated
dist/files.
Report back
Always report:
- open Dependabot PRs found
- which PRs required no net changes
- new branch name
- new worktree path
- files changed
npm run allresult- commit SHA and PR URL
- confirmation that the PR has the
dependencieslabel
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
