Dependency Triage Skill

Output per package

### package-name (ecosystem: npm|pip|go|etc.)
- Current: x.y.z
- Suggested: x.y.z
- Risk: patch | minor | major
- CVE: none | CVE-XXXX (severity)
- Actionable: yes | no (denylist / human gate)
- Suggested loop action: patch-in-worktree | escalate-human | skip

Classification Rules

  • patch: semver patch or lockfile-only security fix with no API change
  • minor: semver minor — cautious, verifier required
  • major: always escalate-human unless explicitly pre-approved in state
  • denylist: packages in state denylist → escalate-human, no auto-touch
  • high-severity CVE: escalate if fix requires major or breaking change

Rules

  • Prefer the smallest safe bump that resolves the advisory.
  • Never bundle unrelated package updates in one change.
  • Record human overrides from dependency-sweeper-state.md every run.
  • If lockfile conflict or peer dependency warning → escalate-human.
