Risk-grade GitLab dependency-bump MRs with an inline summary comment
When a GitLab merge request bumps a dependency, fetches the changelog, grades breaking-change risk with an LLM, sets the matching MR label.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerGitLab MR opened with a manifest changeGitLab
- ActionFetch changelog for the version rangeGitLab
- ActionLLM grades risk + extracts signalsOpenAI
- LogicMap verdict to scoped risk label
- ActionSet risk:: label on the MRGitLab
- OutputPost structured verdict comment to MRGitLab
What it does
This is the GitLab-native version of dependency risk grading. On every dependency-bump merge request it reads the changelog for the version jump, classifies the breaking-change risk, applies a scoped label, and posts a comment that lays out the grade, the signals found, and a suggested next action — all inside the MR where reviewers already work.
When to use it
Use it for teams hosted on GitLab who want the same fast triage signal without leaving the platform. The inline comment keeps the rationale attached to the MR thread instead of a separate channel.
How it works
- 1A GitLab MR-opened webhook fires for MRs that change a dependency manifest.
- 2The flow parses the package and its old→new version from the MR.
- 3It fetches the changelog/release notes spanning that range.
- 4An LLM grades the risk and extracts the concrete breaking signals.
- 5A scoped `risk::low|medium|high` label is set on the MR.
- 6A structured summary comment with the verdict and next step is posted to the MR thread.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect GitLabRepos, MRs, pipelines, registry.
- 2Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
- 3Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 4Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 5Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
