StackRadar
StackRadar is a dependency management platform that automates the maintenance of software dependencies across codebases. It consolidates signals from various scanning tools (Dependabot, Renovate, Snyk, Trivy, OSV-Scanner, and its own scanner) into a single ranked queue of issues such as vulnerabilities, end-of-life packages, abandoned dependencies, license conflicts, and stale majors. This unified view eliminates duplicate alerts and reduces noise by closing withdrawn advisories and false positives with transparent reasoning. Unlike conventional bots that only open pull requests and leave failing builds or breaking changes to developers, StackRadar uses AI agents to perform the actual code changes required for an upgrade. These agents handle breaking API changes, migration paths, configuration updates, and call-site modifications. The resulting pull requests are then run through the user's own CI pipeline and, if they pass, are merged automatically according to policies set by the team. StackRadar operates on GitHub, with GitLab and Bitbucket support planned. Teams define merge policies such as auto-merge for patches and minors, requiring approval for majors, soak windows, and never-touch rules. The platform aims to remove the manual backlog of dependency updates, allowing engineering teams to focus on product work while maintaining a secure and up-to-date dependency tree.

Problem solved
StackRadar addresses the failure of traditional dependency scanners and bots to actually fix issues: they open pull requests that rot when upgrades require code changes, breaking builds, or manual review. StackRadar removes the manual work by using AI agents to make necessary code modifications, passing CI, and merging according to policy, thereby eliminating the dependency maintenance backlog.
Use cases
- Automated patching of vulnerable dependencies across all repositories
- Handling breaking major version upgrades with code changes and migrations
- Enforcing license policies by flagging or blocking copyleft dependencies in production
- Consolidating alerts from multiple scanners into a single actionable queue
- Automatically closing noise from withdrawn advisories or false positives
- Maintaining dependencies for AI-built products where agents add many packages
- Managing end-of-life and abandoned packages with migration paths
Audience
- Developers
- ML Engineers
- Enterprise
- Startups
Pros
- Automates actual code fixes, not just PR creation
- Consolidates findings from multiple scanners into one queue
- Policy-based auto-merge reduces manual review overhead
- Handles breaking changes, EOL, licenses, and stale majors
- Integrates with existing CI and supports GitHub
Cons
- Currently only GitHub is supported (GitLab/Bitbucket planned)
- Requires trust in AI agents to modify code correctly
- Paid service with no free tier beyond trial
- Policies need initial configuration and maintenance
- May not cover all languages or package ecosystems
