Why does Renovate ignore my minimumReleaseAge setting?

Some datasources (like java-version) do not provide release timestamps, causing Renovate to skip age-based delays if configured as timestamp-optional.

Do I need the GitHub CLI installed to use this skill?

Yes, this skill relies heavily on gh commands to fetch repository contents and manage workflow runs for the investigation process.

How do I find which datasource Renovate is using for a package?

Use this skill to trigger a debug run via gh workflow and grep the logs for the specific package name to see the assigned datasource.

Can this skill fix my Renovate configuration?

This skill is focused on investigation and diagnostics; it helps you find the root cause of behavior so you can manually apply the correct configuration fix.

部署与 DevOps

Investigates and debugs Renovate dependency update behaviors, datasource mappings, and release age enforcement using a systematic CLI-driven workflow.

关于

This skill provides a structured methodology for diagnosing issues with Renovate automated dependency updates. It helps developers locate configuration files, extract shared configs, trigger debug workflows via GitHub CLI, and analyze logs to determine why specific packages might be bypassing minimumReleaseAge policies or behaving unexpectedly. By mapping packages to their respective datasources and verifying timestamp support, it eliminates guesswork in dependency management troubleshooting and provides clear paths to resolution for complex update logic.
