upgrade-deps

To safely upgrade dependencies, this Skill audits for vulnerabilities, reviews changelogs for breaking changes, and executes updates in small batches. It verifies application functionality after each batch to ensure stability throughout the upgrade process.

Handling a security advisory requires auditing dependencies for vulnerabilities and applying safe updates. This Skill streamlines that process by reviewing change logs and updating packages in small batches while verifying the application remains functional post-update.

Batch updating helps dependency management by executing package upgrades in small, controlled groups. This approach limits the risk of introducing breaking changes, allowing you to isolate issues and verify application stability after each batch.

Yes, you need a clean working environment for each batch when updating dependencies. A consistent package manager and a clean state ensure that vulnerability audits and functional verifications run accurately without interference from uncommitted changes.

To check for breaking changes before updating project dependencies, this Skill reads and reviews the change logs of your packages. This preparation step identifies potential conflicts early, ensuring the application remains functional after the updates are applied.

You can use this dependency update process with any consistent package manager. The Skill relies on the package manager to audit for vulnerabilities and execute the small batch updates, requiring the environment to support consistent package management commands.
