SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Complex dependency migrations involve breaking API changes, package renames, and behavioral shifts that threaten project stability. This skill provides a researched, methodology-driven approach to plan and verify such migrations before applying changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

Research-driven migration planning: finds official guides, changelogs, and community insights to map changes.
Tool-assisted evolution: leverages ecosystem migration tools to automate mechanical updates where possible.
Verification-first migrations: requires successful compilation, full test suite, and documented smoke tests, ensuring correctness before release.
Scope and documentation: produces a checklist and a migration plan outlining removed APIs, renamed APIs, and required configuration updates.

Quick Start

Describe the required dependency changes and run the migrator to produce a validated upgrade plan.

FAQPage Schema

How do I plan a dependency migration with breaking API changes?▼

Plan a dependency migration by researching official migration guides and changelogs to map API removals, package renames, and behavioral shifts before applying code refactors.

What's the best way to verify a package rename during a major version upgrade?▼

Verify a package rename by assessing the official migration guide for renamed APIs and configuration updates, then ensuring the refactored code compiles and the full test suite passes.

How do I handle dependency migrations when my project lacks automated tests?▼

Handle dependency migrations without automated tests by following the researched migration plan and executing documented manual smoke-testing instructions to verify behavioral correctness.

Can I automate mechanical code refactors for dependency migrations?▼

You can automate mechanical code refactors by leveraging ecosystem migration tools identified during research, then validating the changes through successful compilation and full test suite execution.

What should a dependency migration checklist include to prevent runtime errors?▼

A dependency migration checklist should include removed APIs, renamed APIs, behavioral changes, dependency updates, and minimum runtime requirements to prevent runtime errors during upgrades.
