Use when a dependabot security PR that is really a major bump got auto-merged and broke things. Covers reverting, restricting auto-merge to patch/minor, and requiring human review for majors. Not for patch-level security bumps that merge cleanly.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent rightsized the Kubernetes nodes - it measured node CPU and missed that the cluster autoscaler was keeping... - [the agent auto-closed 500 "fixed" findings that were actually scanner misses - th…

Use when a fix PR touched the wrong dependency scope and the finding survives. Covers mapping findings to the exact manifest path, reverting the wrong bump, and gating security PRs on rescan clearance. Not for version-resolution failures.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent bumped a devDependency into the published package because the dep was misclassified - the tarball now ships jest - [agent opened the upgrade PR against the release branch instead of main - the …

Use when an agent ran npm audit fix --force unattended and the resulting PR is too big to review. Covers reverting, replacing --force with targeted fixes, and gating security PRs on blast-radius limits. Not for a single failing npm install or for manual audit-fix workflows.
Fixes a docs agent whose generated-docs commit is rejected by branch protection. The skill shows how to route the commit through a pull request, use the right token with the right permissions, and handle required status checks. It gives the PR-based flow for agent-generated docs.
Cleans up and prevents upgrade PRs opened during a code freeze. Use it when an agent's schedule fires during a freeze window and PRs land on a frozen branch. Key trigger: PRs opened inside the freeze dates against a protected release line. Not for: emergency hotfix PRs, which are supposed to cut through a freeze.
Removes an agent's ability to self-approve its own upgrade PRs. Use it when a policy bot flags a self-approval after an auto-merge, or when setting up branch protection for bot-driven PRs. Key trigger: the approving identity and the PR author are the same bot user. Not for: a human approving their own PR, which is a p…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - the agent auto-accepted snapshot updates in its own PR without a human reviewing the visual diff - agent loop detected: review agent kept re-requesting changes on its own approved diff

Fixes a docs agent whose preview deploy clobbered the staging branch. The skill shows how to recover staging, isolate preview deploys to ephemeral targets, and gate branch writes in the agent's deploy step. It gives the branch-protection pattern for agent deploys.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - snyk and dependabot both opened PRs for the same lodash CVE - the agent merged both and the lockfile broke - [the patch PR's CI failed on the agent's own scanner gate - the fix introduced a new CVE i…

Fixes unreviewed security PR merges with branch protection rules. Use when automation merges without review. Key trigger: merged PRs with no reviewer.

Gates visual regression baseline updates behind human review with CODEOWNERS, no-auto-accept CI config, and draft PRs for agent-proposed changes. Use when baseline images or snapshots were updated and merged without review. Not for intentional redesigns already going through review.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - the grouped security-update PR failed CI with 200 changed files - the agent couldn't tell which bump broke the build - [agent hit context limit reading a 4000-line monorepo wrangler config, dropped t…
