Summary

Applies the standard project-scaffolding pattern to this repo — the same pattern used in jaiew/substack-mcp, now generalized into a reusable template at Reference/software-engineer/project-template/ in the vault.

  • CLAUDE.md — working conventions: architecture (single-file, zero-runtime-deps library), the "adding a new method" recipe, testing, commands, dependency management, and the full release-please → GitHub Release → npm publish chain this repo already runs.
  • docs/WORKFLOW.md — branch naming, commit conventions (Conventional Commits, which release-please depends on for versioning), and PR conventions. Uses the lightweight variant of the template (no GitHub Projects v2 board, no create-ticket/start-ticket/ship-ticket skills) since this is a small, mature, single-purpose library with an empty issue tracker — the full ticket-board lifecycle would be pure overhead here. That decision is documented at the top of the file, including the trigger condition for revisiting it.
  • .claude/skills/check-dependabot-alerts/SKILL.md — new skill to triage open Dependabot alerts/PRs and verify each update against the real build (lint + format:check + build + test:coverage) rather than trusting Dependabot's own CI badge, then merge or escalate. This repo already has 5 open Dependabot PRs (eslint, prettier, @types/node, typescript, typescript-eslint) this skill can be run against once merged.

No behavior change — docs and a new skill only. Existing dependabot.yml, CI, CodeQL, CodeRabbit, and release-please/publish workflows are untouched (and referenced from the new docs rather than duplicated).

Test plan

  • CI (lint/format:check/build/test:coverage) passes
  • CodeRabbit review addressed
  • Skim CLAUDE.md/docs/WORKFLOW.md for accuracy against how you actually want this repo run

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added guidance for triaging security alerts and dependency update proposals, including severity-based review and build validation.
    • Documented repository conventions for architecture, testing, dependency management, releases, and contributions.
    • Added a development workflow guide covering branch naming, commit standards, pull request expectations, CI requirements, and release procedures.

Applies the standard project-scaffolding pattern (see
Reference/software-engineer/project-template in the vault, extracted
from jaiew/substack-mcp) to this repo. Uses the lightweight WORKFLOW.md
variant (no GitHub Projects board, no ticket skills) since this is a
small, mature, single-purpose library with no backlog to coordinate.

This documentation-only change does not alter runtime behavior, but the new Dependabot triage skill has a markdown formatting issue that can fail linting and should be corrected before merge.

In @.claude/skills/check-dependabot-alerts/SKILL.md:
- Line 32: Update the gh pr list command in the Dependabot alerts skill to
replace the user-author filter with the GitHub App filter, using --app
dependabot instead of --author "app/dependabot".
- Around line 55-59: Update the validation workflow around the Dependabot
checkout and commands to run Step 3 in a disposable, credential-free environment
with restricted network access, preventing npm ci and subsequent npm scripts
from accessing the operator’s local permissions while preserving the existing
lint, format, build, and coverage checks.

In `@CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 141-143: Update CLAUDE.md lines 141-143 to limit the devDependency
claim to npm-managed dependencies and describe GitHub Actions references as a
separate ecosystem. Update .claude/skills/check-dependabot-alerts/SKILL.md lines
38-39 so remediation is selected by alert ecosystem and relationship, with
workflow action updates applied directly rather than through npm install.
- Around line 130-133: Unify the dependency cooldown policy by explicitly
deciding whether High-severity security alerts bypass the two-day cooldown, then
apply that same Critical/High rule in CLAUDE.md lines 130-133 and
.claude/skills/check-dependabot-alerts/SKILL.md lines 35-45. Update both
guidance sections consistently, including the stated exception and release-date
check.

- Use `gh pr list --app dependabot` instead of the ineffective
  `--author "app/dependabot"` filter.
- Verify Dependabot PRs via their CI check instead of re-running
  npm ci/build/test locally against unreviewed branch code — CI
  already runs the same gate on an isolated GitHub-hosted runner.
- Unify the cooldown-bypass policy on critical-only (matching
  CLAUDE.md) instead of the skill's looser critical/high threshold.
- Scope the "every dependency is a devDependency" claim to the npm
  ecosystem and add separate handling for github-actions-ecosystem
  updates, which npm install can't remediate.

In @.claude/skills/check-dependabot-alerts/SKILL.md:
- Line 36: Update the Dependabot pull-request listing command to explicitly
request enough results to cover all open updates, using a sufficiently high
--limit or pagination while preserving the existing repository, app filter, and
JSON fields.
- Line 42: Update the manual critical-update instructions in the
dependency-alert workflow to require a credential-free disposable environment or
disabled npm lifecycle scripts before running the package installation, and
retain CI validation afterward.

- Add --limit 100 to gh pr list so the Dependabot PR listing doesn't
  silently drop results past the default 30-item page.
- Run the manual critical-bump npm install with --ignore-scripts in a
  disposable, credential-free environment before letting CI validate
  it — the just-published fix version is itself unvetted and npm
  install runs its lifecycle scripts by default.
