What problem does it solve?

Smart dependency management across languages is error-prone and time-consuming; this skill automates detection and safe updates to keep projects in sync.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic project-type detection across languages and safe updates
  • Minor/PATCH auto-application with major updates prompted
  • Cross-ecosystem diagnosis and remediation of dependency issues
  • Use Case: Maintain a Node.js, Python, or Go project with minimal risk updates to stay secure and current.

Quick Start

Run the updater in your project root to scan dependencies and apply safe updates.

Frequently Asked Questions about dependency-updater

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate dependency updates across multiple programming languages?▼

Cross-language dependency automation works by detecting project types across ecosystems like Node.js, Python, and Go, then safely auto-applying minor and patch updates while prompting for major versions to keep projects secure.

Can I safely apply minor and patch updates without breaking my project?▼

Yes, safe dependency updates are enforced by automatically applying only minor and patch version changes, updating lockfiles, and running security audits while prompting individually for potentially breaking major version upgrades.

Does this dependency updater work with Rust, Ruby, Java, and .NET projects?▼

Yes, the dependency updater supports Rust, Ruby, Java, and .NET projects alongside Node.js, Python, and Go, automatically detecting the ecosystem and applying safe minor and patch updates to keep dependencies current.

What is the best way to run a security audit on outdated package dependencies?▼

The best way to run a security audit on outdated packages is to execute an automated updater in the project root, which updates lockfiles and runs security audits while applying safe minor and patch updates.

How are major version dependency updates handled to prevent breaking changes?▼

Major version dependency updates are handled by prompting the user individually for each major upgrade rather than auto-applying them, preventing breaking changes while still auto-applying safe minor and patch updates.

Why do I need to diagnose dependency issues in a multi-language project?▼

Diagnosing dependency issues in a multi-language project is needed because managing updates across different ecosystems is error-prone, and automated diagnosis helps remediate problems to keep projects secure and in sync.
