custom-dependency-pr-solver
Batch-process Dependabot PRs end-to-end: checkout, rebase, review, changeset, validate, and auto-merge high-confidence PRs. USE FOR: process all Dependabot PRs, clear dependency backlog, batch-merge safe Dependabot updates, batch-process dependency PRs. DO NOT USE FOR: single-PR deep review (use fusion-dependency-review), feature PRs, non-Dependabot dependency PRs, or PRs requiring manual code changes.

Quality
Discovery
100%Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.
This is an excellent skill description that clearly defines its scope, lists concrete actions, provides natural trigger terms, and explicitly delineates boundaries with other skills. The USE FOR / DO NOT USE FOR structure is particularly effective for disambiguation. The description is concise yet comprehensive, making it easy for Claude to select this skill appropriately.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Specificity | Lists multiple specific concrete actions: checkout, rebase, review, changeset, validate, and auto-merge. Also specifies the scope (high-confidence PRs) and the target (Dependabot PRs). | 3 / 3 |
Completeness | Clearly answers both 'what' (batch-process Dependabot PRs with checkout, rebase, review, changeset, validate, auto-merge) and 'when' (explicit USE FOR and DO NOT USE FOR clauses with specific trigger scenarios). The DO NOT USE FOR section adds extra clarity on boundaries. | 3 / 3 |
Trigger Term Quality | Excellent coverage of natural trigger terms: 'Dependabot PRs', 'dependency backlog', 'batch-merge', 'batch-process dependency PRs', 'safe Dependabot updates'. These are terms users would naturally use when dealing with accumulated Dependabot pull requests. | 3 / 3 |
Distinctiveness Conflict Risk | Highly distinctive with a clear niche (batch Dependabot PR processing). The explicit DO NOT USE FOR clause referencing 'fusion-dependency-review' for single-PR cases and excluding feature PRs and non-Dependabot PRs makes it very unlikely to conflict with other skills. | 3 / 3 |
Total | 12 / 12 Passed |
Implementation
77%Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.
This is a well-structured batch orchestration skill with strong actionability and workflow clarity. The sequential processing pipeline with explicit validation, error recovery, and safety constraints is excellent. Minor weaknesses include some verbosity in introductory sections and reliance on external files that aren't provided in the bundle, making progressive disclosure harder to fully validate.
Suggestions
Trim or remove the 'When to use' and 'When not to use' sections since this information is already captured in the skill description/frontmatter and adds ~15 lines of redundant content.
Include the referenced bundle files (dependabot-pr.instructions.md, research-comment-template.md, verdict-comment-template.md) or note their absence — currently the skill delegates critical decisions (changeset rules, confidence criteria) to files that may not exist.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | The skill is mostly efficient but includes some sections that could be tightened — 'When to use' and 'When not to use' sections repeat information already in the YAML description, and the delegation section explains concepts Claude can infer. However, the workflow steps themselves are lean and well-structured. | 2 / 3 |
Actionability | Provides concrete, executable commands throughout (gh pr list, git rebase, pnpm test && pnpm build, gh pr merge --squash --admin). Each step has specific actions with clear fallback behaviors. The batch report table format is copy-paste ready. | 3 / 3 |
Workflow Clarity | Excellent multi-step sequencing with explicit validation checkpoints (Step 6), clear error recovery paths (conflict → abort → skip, validation failure → attempt trivial fix → mark needs-manual-intervention), and a feedback loop structure. The sequential processing with skip-on-failure and final report is well-designed for batch operations. | 3 / 3 |
Progressive Disclosure | References to external files like `.github/instructions/dependabot-pr.instructions.md`, `assets/research-comment-template.md`, and `assets/verdict-comment-template.md` are well-signaled, but none of these bundle files are provided, making it impossible to verify they exist or are accurate. The delegation to `fusion-dependency-review` is clearly described but the skill itself is somewhat long and could benefit from splitting detailed rebase/changeset logic into referenced files. | 2 / 3 |
