update-reqs

To update Python requirements, this Skill bumps packages in a *.in file to their latest PyPI versions while preserving each line's existing version-specifier pattern, such as wildcards or exact pins.

Bumping wildcard version pins preserves the wildcard depth; for example, fastapi==0.128.* updates to the latest 0.130.* while keeping the star pattern intact in the *.in file.

Updating requirements skips comments, blank lines, git dependencies, and lines without versions or with extras only, ensuring only standard PyPI package pins are modified.

The best way to recompile a Python lockfile after bumping dependencies is running uv pip compile <file>.in -o <file>.txt --upgrade, which this Skill executes automatically after applying updates.

You can review dependency changes before applying updates; the Skill shows a diff of the proposed version bumps and only applies them to the *.in file after receiving your confirmation.

The requirements update tool works with requirements.in, requirements-dev.in, or any other *.in file containing version pins and comments, applying updates uniformly across all valid files.
