SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually triaging and resolving GitHub security artifacts (Dependabot PRs, Dependabot alerts, CodeQL findings, secret-scanning alerts) for the Bifrost open-source integration platform is time-consuming and prone to policy inconsistencies, especially as the volume of security artifacts grows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependabot PR Automation: Auto-merge eligible patch/minor/security dependency PRs with passing CI, label major and Docker base-image bumps for manual review, and handle transient CI failures with automatic reruns.
  • Security Alert Triage: Process Dependabot alerts without associated PRs, triage CodeQL findings using severity-first prioritization and subagent fan-out for class-level rules, and coordinate secret rotation for real secret-scanning alerts while dismissing false positives.
  • Use Case: A Bifrost maintainer with 30+ open security artifacts can use this skill to resolve all low-risk items automatically and surface only edge cases requiring human input, reducing security queue resolution time from hours to minutes.

Quick Start

Use the bifrost-secupdate skill to drain the Bifrost repository's security queue by processing all open Dependabot PRs, security alerts, CodeQL findings, and secret-scanning alerts per the project's defined policies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Dependabot PR triage and merging for open-source repositories?

Automating Dependabot PR triage involves auto-merging eligible patch, minor, and security dependency PRs with passing CI, while labeling major and Docker base-image bumps for manual review. This skill handles transient CI failures with automatic reruns to drain routine security queues.

What is severity-first triage for CodeQL alerts and how does it work?

Severity-first triage for CodeQL alerts processes findings by prioritizing critical issues first, using subagent fan-out for class-level rules to efficiently analyze and resolve code scanning issues according to project-defined policies.

How do you coordinate secret rotation for real secret-scanning alerts on GitHub?

Coordinating secret rotation for real secret-scanning alerts involves identifying genuine exposed credentials and initiating the rotation process while dismissing false positives, ensuring only actual secrets require manual intervention and remediation.

Can I automatically resolve Dependabot alerts that do not have associated pull requests?

Yes, you can resolve Dependabot alerts without associated pull requests by processing them through automated triage. The system evaluates these security artifacts and applies project-defined policies to address underlying dependency vulnerabilities directly.

When should I manually intervene in automated GitHub security queue remediation?

Manual intervention in automated GitHub security queue remediation is required when explicit halt conditions are triggered for edge cases, including major dependency bumps, Docker base-image changes, and complex secret rotation scenarios that exceed automated policy resolution.
