SKILL

whats-behind

This skill should be used when the user asks "what's behind", "what needs a bump", "what's out of date across our repos", "which products are lagging", "who's on an old version", "portfolio dependency audit", "audit our dependencies across products", "are any products falling behind", "version drift", "which repos have stale actions", "keep the runners updated", or wants a cross-repo currency check spanning EVERY repo in a portfolio rather than one repository. Compares each repo's pinned GitHub Actions, toolchain versions, runner labels, and Dependabot coverage against its peers, then reports which repos are lagging and whether the cause is a missing automation config. Read-only — never edits pins, never opens PRs. For things that are broken or stalled rather than merely old, use whats-on-fire; for single-repo prioritization, use that repository's own survey-work skill.

A currency check across every repo in a portfolio: who is lagging their peers on shared versions, and — more usefully — why. This skill is read-only. It measures and reports; it never edits a pin or opens a PR. Scope boundary. whats-on-fire covers things that are broken or stalled. This covers things that merely drift: nothing here is failing today. A product quietly sitting three major versions behind its siblings never shows up as a fire, which is exactly why it needs its own pass. Plugin root. If the plugin-root placeholder in the command below reaches you unexpanded, do not run it and do not search for the script. Take the path in the [Skill file: ...] or [Skill directory: ...] line at the top of this skill and cut it at /skills/whats-behind: what comes before the cut is the plugin root. Write that absolute root into the command in place of the placeholder, then run it. Emits {repos, actions, toolchains, runners, dependabot, skipped}. MAXDEPTH defaults to 2 so multi-repo product groups are covered; depth counts the repo, not its .git. Exclude archived repos before ranking. The script walks local checkouts, and archived repos routinely linger on disk long after they stop matteri
