Dependabot

This one teaches Claude how to write and optimize GitHub's dependabot.yml files. It covers all three Dependabot modes (alerts, security updates, version updates) and walks through ecosystem detection across 25+ package managers, from npm and pip to more niche ones like Bun and DevContainers. The real value is in the monorepo patterns and grouping strategies. Instead of drowning in 50 individual dependency PRs, it shows you how to use glob patterns for directory coverage and group updates by type, name pattern, or even across multiple ecosystems into single PRs. The cooldown period config is clever if you want to wait a few days before adopting fresh releases. Useful if you're setting up Dependabot for the first time or trying to tame PR noise in a complex repo.
