Dependency Upgrade Risk Assessor
Example session with this skill installed
Review these npm audit logs and my package.json. I need to move from D3 v6 to v7 and fix the high-severity lodash vulnerability. Provide a risk assessment and upgrade plan.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the dependency upgrade risk
I have reviewed your package.json and the provided npm audit logs. The upgrade involves a major version jump for d3 (v6.7.0 -> v7.8.5) and a patch for lodash to address CVE-2023-45133.
Dependency Upgrade Risk Assessment
| Dependency | Current | Target | Change Type | Priority | Risk Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
d3 | 6.7.0 | 7.8.5 | Major | Critical | Confirmed (Breaking) |
lodash | 4.17.20 | 4.17.21 | Patch | High | Confirmed (Security) |
d3-selection | 2.0.0 | 3.0.0 | Transitive | Medium | Likely (Peer Conflict) |
Prioritized Risk Findings
D3 ESM Migration (Critical): D3 v7 is now ESM-only. If your project uses CommonJS (require), this will break your build. Source: D3 v7 Migration Guide.
D3 Color/Interpolate (Medium): Changes to internal color parsing may affect custom chart rendering. Source: Release Notes.
Lodash Prototype Pollution (High): CVE-2023-45133 is resolved in 4.17.21. This is a non-breaking security fix. Source: npm audit log.
Recommended Upgrade Sequence
Batch 1: Security Fixes
- Run
npm install lodash@4.17.21. - Verify: Run existing unit tests to ensure no regressions in utility functions.
Batch 2: Major Framework Upgrade
- Prerequisites: Ensure project
type: moduleor use dynamicimport(). - Run
npm install d3@7.8.5. - Check for peer dependency warnings regarding
d3-selection.
Verification Plan
- Build Check: Run
npm run buildto confirm ESM compatibility. - Visual Regression: Inspect chart components for coordinate or color shifts caused by
d3-scalechanges. - Audit Verification: Run
npm auditagain to confirm the lodash vulnerability is cleared.
Next steps
- Confirm if your project is configured for ESM or if you need a CJS wrapper.
- Provide the output of
npm list d3to check for other plugins relying on v6. - Run Batch 1 immediately as it carries the lowest regression risk.

About this skill
Stale dependencies and major version jumps introduce hidden breaking changes that derail development cycles. This skill acts as a meticulous dependency analyst to map out upgrade paths before you run your first install command. It transforms manifests, release notes, and migration guides into a traceable, evidence-based upgrade strategy.
What it does
- Risk profiling identifies breaking changes, API deprecations, and peer dependency conflicts across direct and transitive packages.
- Evidence mapping labels findings as Confirmed, Likely, or Possible based on supplied logs, changelogs, and lockfiles.
- Priority scoring ranks issues from Critical to Low based on project impact and confidence levels.
- Batch planning organizes upgrades into small, diagnosable sequences to isolate failures and simplify debugging.
- Verification design generates targeted test cases and acceptance criteria mapped to specific identified risks.
How it works
- Intake where the agent analyzes your package manifests, lockfiles, and environment constraints.
- Evidence Review to cross-reference your current versions against target release notes and migration guides.
- Sequence Generation where the agent groups changes into logical, low-risk batches with specific commands.
- Report Delivery using a standardized template covering risk findings, rollback paths, and go/no-go criteria.
Frameworks & tools
Works with any language or package manager provided you supply the manifests. Optimized for environments using npm, yarn, pip, maven, cargo, or go modules.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often hallucinate version compatibility or miss transitive peer conflicts. This skill enforces an evidence-based workflow that distinguishes verified facts from inferences, ensuring your upgrade plan is grounded in actual changelog data rather than LLM assumptions.
Use cases
- Auditing a major framework migration like React 17 to 18 or Next.js 13 to 14.
- Preparing a prioritized sequence for resolving high-severity security vulnerabilities in deep dependency trees.
- Evaluating the impact of upgrading core infrastructure libraries in a large monorepo.
Known limitations
Does not perform live registry lookups or execute local builds. Assessments are restricted to the evidence and files provided in the conversation context.
