SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps development teams keep their Java project dependencies up to date by automatically locating outdated Maven/Gradle dependencies in build files and reporting available upgrades.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scan build files (gradle/libs.versions.toml, build.gradle.kts, build.gradle, pom.xml) to collect dependencies and current versions.
  • Coordinate with MCP tool compare_dependency_versions to fetch latest stable versions.
  • Present results as a markdown table highlighting current vs latest and suggested upgrade, enabling quick decision-making.
  • Use case: audit a large project to identify security-relevant updates and compatibility considerations.

Quick Start

Run the check-deps skill in your project directory to see all dependencies with available updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check outdated Maven and Gradle dependencies in my project?▼

To check outdated Maven and Gradle dependencies, scan your build files like pom.xml, build.gradle, and libs.versions.toml to collect current versions, then fetch the latest stable versions to compare and identify available updates.

Can I scan a libs.versions.toml file for outdated Gradle versions?▼

Yes, you can scan a libs.versions.toml file for outdated Gradle versions. The process reads the version catalog file to collect current dependencies and compares them against the latest stable releases to report available upgrades.

How do I find available updates for Maven pom.xml dependencies?▼

Finding available updates for Maven pom.xml dependencies involves parsing the build file to collect artifact versions and delegating to a tool that fetches the latest stable versions, presenting current versus latest data in a comparison table.

What is the best way to report outdated Java dependency versions?▼

The best way to report outdated Java dependency versions is by generating a markdown table that lists each artifact alongside its current and latest versions, plus suggested upgrade types, enabling quick decision-making for upgrades.

Does check-deps work with both Maven and Gradle build files?▼

Yes, check-deps works with both Maven and Gradle build files. It scans pom.xml for Maven projects and build.gradle, build.gradle.kts, or libs.versions.toml for Gradle projects to identify outdated dependencies.

What build files are supported when scanning for outdated dependencies?▼

Supported build files when scanning for outdated dependencies include pom.xml for Maven, alongside build.gradle, build.gradle.kts, and gradle/libs.versions.toml for Gradle projects to collect current artifact versions.
