SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps teams plan and execute high-stakes upgrades across Spring, Kotlin, Gradle, JDK, and related libraries with explicit checkpoints and rollback thinking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured upgrade plan: Breaks down large upgrades into traceable, testable steps with clear dependencies and rollback points.
  • Dependency and compatibility awareness: Tracks version gaps, breaking-change hotspots, and migration notes to minimize surprises.
  • Use Case: Use when preparing a major version jump to navigate javax to jakarta, plugin compatibility, and auto-configuration drift while preserving production stability.

Quick Start

Provide target and current version details to generate a ready-to-run upgrade plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about upgrade-breaking-change-navigator

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I plan a Spring Boot upgrade with safe rollback checkpoints?▼

To plan a Spring Boot upgrade, provide your current and target versions to generate a stepwise, verifiable sequence of steps with built-in checkpoints and rollback guidance.

What is the best way to migrate from javax to jakarta dependencies?▼

Migrating from javax to jakarta requires a structured upgrade plan that tracks version gaps and breaking-change hotspots to navigate auto-configuration drift while preserving production stability.

Can I use this to navigate major Kotlin and Gradle version changes together?▼

Yes, you can plan major version jumps across Kotlin, Gradle, JDK, and related libraries simultaneously by generating a traceable, testable upgrade sequence with clear dependencies.

How do I handle Java compatibility shifts during a major framework upgrade?▼

Handling Java compatibility shifts involves breaking down the upgrade into traceable steps that account for plugin and BOM adjustments, verifying stepwise after each change to minimize surprises.

What information do I need to provide before generating a dependency upgrade plan?▼

You must provide project knowledge of current versions, target version details, and your dependency graph so the tool can output a structured, verifiable upgrade sequence.

When should I not use a stepwise upgrade plan for my dependencies?▼

A stepwise upgrade plan may be unnecessary if you lack accurate project version details or dependency graphs, as the tool requires this input to generate verifiable checkpoints and rollback guidance.
