Open Linear Tickets for High-Blast-Radius Dependency Bumps
When Dependabot opens a PR, it evaluates the upgrade's blast radius and, only for major or runtime-critical bumps.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerDependabot opens a PR (webhook)GitHub
- LogicFilter out patch-only dev-dependency bumps
- ActionFetch manifest diff and release notesGitHub
- LogicResolve owning team and confirm high blast radius
- ActionCreate routed Linear issue with contextLinear
- OutputPost Slack heads-up linking the ticketSlack
What it does
Low-risk Dependabot PRs should merge quietly; high-risk ones deserve real engineering attention. This workflow triggers on each new Dependabot PR, judges its blast radius, and for major or runtime-critical upgrades it spins up a Linear issue routed to the team that owns the affected code, pre-filled with the changelog diff and the list of internal modules that import the package.
When to use it
Use it when major dependency bumps keep slipping through as unreviewed merges, and you want risky upgrades to become tracked, owned work in Linear with proper QA before merge.
How it works
- 1A GitHub webhook fires when Dependabot opens a PR.
- 2A filter discards bot PRs that are patch-only bumps to dev dependencies.
- 3For the rest, GitHub fetches the package manifest diff and the changelog/release notes.
- 4A logic step maps the bumped package to its owning team via a CODEOWNERS lookup and confirms it is a major or runtime dependency.
- 5A Linear issue is created on the owning team with blast-radius summary, changelog, and affected modules.
- 6The PR gets a Slack heads-up linking the new Linear ticket.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
- 2Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
- 3Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
