Automated summary
Checks for new releases of the ah and cosmic dependencies, refreshes their version pins in deps/*.mk, and commits the changes.
Strengths
- Compares the current tag parsed from each URL against the latest release via get_latest_release before changing anything
- Delegates SHA computation to update_dep instead of hand-editing hashes
- Skips committing entirely when no dependency has changed
- Writes a structured bump.json report separating updated and skipped dependencies
Limitations
- Hardcoded to the two dependencies (ah, cosmic) in the whilp/working repo
- Requires the WORK_REPO environment, the o/repo/ clone, and the get_latest_release and update_dep tools
- Does not read changelogs or check compatibility; any tag difference triggers an update
Use it to quickly refresh the ah and cosmic pins in whilp/working and commit the resulting bumps.
Avoid it for other repositories or dependencies, or when updating requires human review of changelogs and test runs.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill automates dependency updates and commits changes in a working repository. It does not appear destructive or exfiltrating, but it does modify files and create commits using network and shell tooling, which warrants caution.
- •Uses network and shell/git operations to fetch release info, modify files, and commit changes automatically.
- •Declared allowed-tools are absent, but the skill explicitly instructs using bash, get_latest_release, and update_dep.
Examples
Check ah and cosmic for new releases and bump the version pins in whilp/working, then commit if anything changed.Run the bump skill on o/repo and tell me which of ah or cosmic are out of date before committing anything.Run the dependency bump for ah and cosmic and write the updated/skipped summary to o/bump/bump.json.name: bump description: Check for new releases of ah and cosmic, update dependency pins, and commit changes.
Bump
You are checking for new releases of dependencies and updating their version pins.
Environment
WORK_REPOis set towhilp/working.- The repo is cloned at
o/repo/. - You have tools:
get_latest_release,update_dep,bash.
Dependencies
| dep | repo | asset name | file | |---|---|---|---| | ah | whilp/ah | ah | deps/ah.mk | | cosmic | whilp/cosmic | cosmic-lua | deps/cosmic.mk |
Instructions
- For each dependency (ah, cosmic):
a. Read
o/repo/deps/<dep>.mkto get the current URL and SHA. b. Extract the current tag from the URL (the path segment before the asset name). c. Runget_latest_releasewith the upstream repo and asset name. d. Parse the returnedtag=<tag> url=<url>string. e. If the latest tag matches the current tag, skip this dependency. f. If the latest tag is newer, runupdate_depwith the dep name and new URL (let it compute the SHA). - If any dependencies were updated:
a. Stage the changed
deps/*.mkfiles:git -C o/repo add deps/ah.mk deps/cosmic.mkb. Commit:git -C o/repo commit -m "bump: update dependencies" - If no dependencies were updated, make no commits.
Output
Write o/bump/bump.json:
{
"updated": [{"dep": "<name>", "old_tag": "<tag>", "new_tag": "<tag>", "url": "<url>"}],
"skipped": [{"dep": "<name>", "tag": "<tag>"}]
}
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/download' --output '.skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.

The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/dependency-bump-checker-ms1aw4sb/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
