Weekly Maintenance
Step 0: Load environment skills
Load /tend-ci-runner:running-in-ci first — it contains CI security rules, review/comment formatting, and polling conventions. This skill posts approvals and comments on PRs, so those rules apply. running-in-ci will also load the repo's running-tend overlay if one exists; keep the loaded content in mind for Step 3.
Step 1: Find dependency PRs
gh pr list --state open --limit 200 --json number,title,author,labels \
--jq '.[] | select(.author.login == "dependabot[bot]" or .author.login == "renovate[bot]" or (.labels | any(.name == "dependencies")))'
If no dependency PRs are open, note "0 dependency PRs to process" and continue to Step 3 — do not exit; repo-specific weekly tasks may still be due.
Step 2: For each dependency PR
-
Check CI status: gh pr checks <number>
-
If CI is passing, review the diff for breaking changes (major version bumps, API changes, deprecation warnings)
-
If the update is safe (patch/minor with green CI), check whether the bot has already approved this commit before approving — a dependabot PR open across multiple weekly runs (or already approved by tend-review on creation) would otherwise accumulate redundant approvals on the same commit_id:
uv run --script "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bot_review_state.py" \
prepare-approval <number>
If already_approved is true, this PR is done — move to the next one.
Otherwise compose $TMPDIR/review-body.md. Give the
reviewer the context for the approval: the upgrade's scope and the evidence
relevant to its safety. Keep it concise and omit the inspection chronology.
Use a file rather than an inline --body because a
package name written as inline code puts a backtick in a double-quoted
argument, and bash runs the span as a command. Then post, re-reading the sha
from disk, since shell state didn't survive the Write:
CHECKED=$(cat "$TMPDIR/checked-head-<number>") || exit 0
REPO=$(gh repo view --json nameWithOwner --jq '.nameWithOwner')
gh api "repos/$REPO/pulls/<number>/reviews" --method POST \
-f event=APPROVE -f commit_id="$CHECKED" -F body=@"$TMPDIR/review-body.md"
-
If CI is failing, comment with the failure summary and skip
-
If a major version bump, comment noting it needs manual review and skip
-
On either skip path (4 or 5), dismiss an approval that predates the newest rewrite before you leave. Both paths are reachable because a rebase changed something, and neither passes through item 3's guard — so the pre-rewrite approval stays the bot's latest review, re-anchored onto the current head, and the PR still reads as bot-approved while you comment that it isn't mergeable:
uv run --script "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/bot_review_state.py" \
dismiss-stale <number> \
"Rebased since this approval; the new head is unreviewed."
A dismissed review reports DISMISSED rather than APPROVED, so the filter stops matching it and a later run re-dismisses nothing.
Step 3: Repo-specific weekly tasks
Perform any weekly maintenance the loaded running-tend overlay defines, following the repo's PR title conventions. If it defines no weekly tasks (or none are due this week), say so in the summary.
Step 4: Summary
Report: dependency PRs processed/approved/skipped (with reasons), and repo-specific weekly tasks completed (or "no repo-specific weekly tasks defined" / "no weekly tasks due").
