automerge: false carry work orders in their group names, branches go stale against master, and some updates never become PRs at all. Merging these on green CI ships half-done dependency bumps, broken download URLs, or silent no-ops. ## Core Features & Use Cases - PR triage by class: Compare each PR's merge base against origin/master, read the file list and diff, and classify it (lock file, k8s image pin, host plane, tooling) to decide the handling path. - Finish incomplete bumps: Read the producing rule in renovate.json, verify rewritten download URLs and checksums against the publisher's manifest, and complete coupled pins (e.g., jellyfin server + plugin ABI) in a worktree on top of the bot's commit. - Orphan branch census: Detect renovate/* branches that no open PR or Dependency Dashboard entry speaks for, classify them as settled, dead, or lost updates, and report them without deleting. - Use Case: A green Renovate PR bumps a plugin version but leaves a 404 asset URL and a stale checksum — this Skill walks you through catching the mismatch, fixing the pin, and landing it through the serialized land.sh flow. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to go through the open Renovate PRs, triage each one, finish any incomplete bumps, and land them one at a time.High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
List PRs with `gh pr list --author app/renovate`, then compare each PR's baseRefOid against origin/master before reading the diff. Classify by the files touched — lock files merge directly, image pins need deployment, and titles with a `manual —` parenthetical name unfinished work.
Renovate's regex managers rewrite only what their matchStrings capture, so a version appearing twice in a URL or coupled to a checksum can be half-updated while CI stays green. Verify the new URL returns HTTP 200 and its content matches the pinned checksum before merging.
Query renovate.json with jq: select packageRules whose groupName matches the PR title fragment and read the description field. Every automerge:false rule in this repo explains why it cannot automerge, which is exactly the work left to finish.
Yes. Updates can sit in the Dependency Dashboard's Pending Status Checks section past their minimumReleaseAge without a PR. Ticking the item's checkbox on the dashboard issue forces Renovate to create the branch and PR within minutes.
No — report orphan branches, never delete them unilaterally. A branch with no PR is not proof the work is gone; classify each as settled, targeting a removed dependency, or a lost pending update, and let the operator decide on any sweep.
