SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

## What problem does it solve? Analyze the impact of upgrading a dependency before you do it. Use when the user says "should I upgrade lodash", "what breaks if I update express", "upgrade impact", "endor upgrade", "breaking changes from upgrading", or wants to find the safest version that fixes vulnerabilities. Uses pre-computed Endor Labs data — no scanning required. Do NOT use for just checking vulnerabilities (/endor-check) or applying a fix (/endor-fix).

## Core Features & Use Cases

  • Find safe upgrade recommendations using pre-computed data to assess how a dependency upgrade affects security, compatibility, and behavior.
  • Prioritize upgrades that fix vulnerabilities with minimal risk and minimal code changes.
  • Use with projects that have prior scans to quickly surface the best upgrade per package.

### Quick Start Ask me to analyze a dependency upgrade and I will return the safest upgrade version based on pre-computed Endor Labs data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I find the safest dependency upgrade path to fix vulnerabilities?

To find the safest dependency upgrade path, this Skill uses pre-computed Endor Labs data to surface versions that fix vulnerabilities with minimal risk and minimal code changes. It returns a concise recommendation evaluating upgrade risk, fix coverage, and version availability.

What is the best way to check breaking changes from upgrading a package?

Checking breaking changes from upgrading a package involves analyzing its impact on security, compatibility, and behavior. This Skill uses pre-computed Endor Labs data to assess these factors and determine if an upgrade is worth it or introduces unnecessary risk.

Do I need to run a new scan to analyze dependency upgrade risk?

You do not need to run a new scan to analyze dependency upgrade risk. This Skill uses pre-computed Endor Labs data from prior project scans to quickly evaluate upgrade risk and surface the best version recommendations without active scanning.

Can I use this to just check for vulnerabilities in my dependencies?

You cannot use this to just check for vulnerabilities in your dependencies. This Skill is specifically designed to analyze upgrade impact and find safe paths, not to perform general vulnerability checks or apply fixes to existing dependency versions.

How does this evaluate whether a dependency version upgrade is worth it?

Evaluating whether a dependency upgrade is worth it is done by checking pre-computed data fields like is_best, worth_it, and upgrade_risk. The Skill prioritizes upgrades that fix vulnerabilities while minimizing risk and code changes, returning a clear rationale.
