SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates creation of a project-scoped dep-upgrades skill by detecting the ecosystem.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects ecosystem (package managers, lock files) and tailors a dep-upgrades skill scaffold.
  • Prompts for verification commands and commit style to fit the project.
  • Generates a Claude-ready skill file at .claude/skills/dep-upgrades/SKILL.md with ecosystem-specific values.

Quick Start

Run this in the repository root to scaffold the dep-upgrades skill.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate dependency upgrades for different ecosystems in my project?▼

Automating dependency upgrades is handled by scaffolding a project-scoped skill that detects your package ecosystem, like npm or Rust, and generates a tailored upgrade workflow file at .claude/skills/dep-upgrades/SKILL.md.

What ecosystems are supported when scaffolding a dependency upgrade skill?▼

Supported ecosystems for dependency upgrade scaffolding include npm, pnpm, bun, Go, Rust, and Python, detected automatically via lock files to ensure the generated skill matches your specific package manager.

How do I create a Claude-compatible skill file for project dependency updates?▼

Creating a Claude-compatible dependency update skill involves running the scaffolder in your repository root to generate a SKILL.md file populated with ecosystem-specific verification commands and commit styles.

Can I customize the verification commands and commit style in the generated upgrade skill?▼

Customizing verification commands and commit style is supported through targeted prompts during scaffolding, ensuring the generated dependency upgrade skill fits your project's testing and version control conventions.

Do I need to manually configure dependency upgrade workflows for each repository?▼

Manual configuration of upgrade workflows is unnecessary because the skill automatically detects your ecosystem and prompts only for project-specific verification commands and commit styles to build the file.

What is the best way to standardize dependency upgrades across multiple repositories?▼

Standardizing dependency upgrades across repositories is achieved by scaffolding a dedicated skill for each project, generating a consistent SKILL.md structure tailored to the specific ecosystem and verification rules of that codebase.
