SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the detection and remediation of Dependabot security alerts by upgrading vulnerable dependencies, validating changes with tests, and producing a clear report of fixes and remaining manual actions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Fetch open Dependabot alerts from GitHub and assess severity and affected packages.
  • Attempt automatic upgrades via the project's package manager, run tests, and roll back on failures.
  • Generate a summarized report showing what was fixed and what still requires attention.
  • Suitable for routine security maintenance before releases or after advisories.

Quick Start

Run the security-fix command to scan and automatically fix vulnerabilities in the repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically fix Dependabot security alerts in my repository?▼

This skill automates fixing Dependabot security alerts by upgrading vulnerable dependencies through your project's package manager. It validates changes by running tests and rolls back failures, providing a report of resolved alerts and manual actions needed.

What happens to dependencies that cannot be automatically upgraded?▼

Dependencies that fail automatic upgrades are documented in a summarized report showing what still requires manual attention. The skill rolls back failed test validations and flags these unresolved vulnerabilities for manual intervention.

Can I use this to upgrade vulnerable dependencies before a release?▼

Yes, this skill is suitable for routine security maintenance before releases or after advisories. It automatically attempts package upgrades, validates them by running tests, and rolls back changes if tests fail, ensuring release readiness.

How does the automated dependency upgrade process handle test failures?▼

When an automated dependency upgrade causes test failures, the skill rolls back the changes. It then logs the failed upgrade attempt in a report, marking the specific vulnerable dependency as still requiring manual attention.

What is the best way to automate security maintenance after a new advisory?▼

Automating post-advisory security maintenance is done by scanning for open alerts, applying package manager upgrades for vulnerable dependencies, running tests, and generating a report of fixed items versus those needing manual action.
