What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates Node.js dependency updates using taze with smart prompting, prioritizing minor/patch updates and asking for major updates individually.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scoped update discovery: Detects available updates across a monorepo.
  • Smart update application: Automatically applies minor/patch updates; prompts for major updates.
  • Developer-friendly prompts: Provides clear choices and actionable results for dependency maintenance.

Quick Start

Run the included taze-based workflow to identify and apply minor/patch updates across your repository, with prompts for any major updates.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Node.js dependency updates across my project?

Automate Node.js dependency updates by running taze-based workflows that scan for available updates, automatically apply minor and patch versions, and prompt you individually for major version changes. The Skill handles both single repositories and monorepos with a single command.

Can I automatically update npm, yarn, and pnpm dependencies with version filtering?

Yes. This Skill categorizes all detected updates as Fixed, PATCH, MINOR, or MAJOR, auto-applies PATCH and MINOR updates across npm, yarn, and pnpm, and presents MAJOR updates one package at a time so you control breaking changes.

What's the difference between automatic and manual dependency update approaches?

Manual updates require checking each package individually; this Skill intelligently filters by severity, applies safe updates automatically, and only interrupts for major versions. For monorepos, it scans recursively and reports all changes concisely in one step.

Do I need to install taze separately to use this Skill?

Yes, taze must be installed as a prerequisite. The Skill includes run-taze.sh for non-interactive batch updates and respects fixed-version pins so locked dependencies are never modified.

How do I update dependencies in a monorepo without touching pinned versions?

Run the Skill with the -r flag for recursive scanning across your monorepo. It automatically skips any fixed-version pins and only processes dependencies eligible for updates, then outputs a concise report with install guidance.

Can I review what changed before applying dependency updates?

The Skill outputs a detailed update report categorizing each change by type—Fixed, PATCH, MINOR, MAJOR—before installation. You approve MAJOR updates per package and see the complete diff before committing.
