Use when the user wants to fix, address, clear, or resolve open Dependabot security/vulnerability alerts for a repository, end to end. Fetches open alerts via the gh CLI, fixes them per ecosystem (pnpm/npm overrides + lockfile regen, cargo update, pip/go/bundler), verifies with audit and frozen-lockfile installs, then branches → commits → pushes → opens a PR, and squash-merges once CI is green — escalating only when a fix carries breaking-change risk or can't be resolved. Invoke it by name…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dependabot Sweep Resolve open Dependabot alerts end to end: **fetch → triage → fix per ecosystem → verify → branch → commit → push → PR → merge.** Built to run with minimal intervention. **Announce at start:** "I'm using the dependabot-sweep skill to clear open Dependabot alerts." **This is a workflow skill.** It invokes the `gh` CLI, the repo's package managers (`pnpm` / `npm` / `cargo` / `pip` / `go` / `bundler`), `git`, and may hand the final merge to the `merge-pr` skill. --- ## Autonomy contract Running this skill **is** the user's consent for the whole workflow — fetch through merge — with no confirmation prompts. Do not ask "should I push / open a PR / merge?". Proceed. **Stop and surface a concise summary only when an Escalate condition is hit:** - A required fix is a **SemVer-major bump of a direct dependency** (real breaking-change risk). - Lockfile regeneration would pull **major bumps of packages unrelated to the alert** (churn well beyond the targeted package and its subtree). A large *minor/patch* refresh of a stale lockfile is fine — note it, don't stop. …

How to install
mdr add harnessprotocol/harness-kit/dependabot-sweep@sha256:3fdbaee45616c115The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.97b92e1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
