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.
