Let Claude Generate Your Dependabot Configuration

Dependabot keeps your dependencies patched, but configuring it well — grouping updates, setting schedules, limiting PR noise, ignoring pre-releases — takes more thought than most people put in. Claude can write a sensible config for your actual setup.

Tell Claude what your project uses:

Write a .github/dependabot.yml for a monorepo with:
- A Laravel API in /api (composer)
- A Vue 3 frontend in /frontend (npm)
- GitHub Actions workflows in /.github/workflows

Group all minor and patch npm updates into a single weekly PR.
Keep major version updates separate. Ignore pre-release versions. 
Assign PRs to @bagwaa and add the label "dependencies".

Claude will generate a properly structured config with separate package-ecosystem entries, sensible open-pull-requests-limit values, and grouped update rules that prevent your PR queue from filling up with noise:

version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/frontend"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    groups:
      minor-and-patch:
        update-types: ["minor", "patch"]

For projects already using Renovate Bot, Claude can write the renovate.json config instead — just ask.

Dependabot with defaults means 40 open PRs on Monday morning — a properly grouped config means three.
