    dependency upgrade roadmap

    Example session with this skill installed

    Here is my package.json and lockfile. I have 12 outdated packages including a major React bump and two security vulnerabilities in axios and lodash. Give me a staged upgrade plan.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the dependency upgrade roadmap
    • Generated the document

    I have analyzed your dependency tree. You have 2 critical security vulnerabilities, 1 major version jump, and 9 minor/patch updates. I have staged these into four reviewable batches to minimize regression risk.

    Dependency Upgrade Roadmap

    Batch 1: Security Critical (Immediate PR)

    PackageCurrentTargetRiskNotes
    axios0.21.11.6.0MediumFixes CVE-2023-45853. Potential header handling changes.
    lodash4.17.154.17.21LowFixes prototype pollution. Non-breaking.

    Command: npm install axios@1.6.0 lodash@4.17.21
    Validation: Run npm audit and full test suite.

    Batch 2: Patch & Minor (Stability Batch)

    PackageCurrentTargetRiskNotes
    typescript4.9.55.2.2MediumMinor syntax strictness. Check tsconfig.json.
    date-fns2.28.02.30.0LowBug fixes only.

    Command: npm install typescript@5.2.2 date-fns@2.30.0
    Validation: Run tsc --noEmit to check for new type errors.

    Batch 3: Major Isolation (High Risk)

    PackageCurrentTargetRiskNotes
    react17.0.218.2.0HighRequires createRoot API change. Peer deps check needed for react-dom.

    Command: npm install react@18.2.0 react-dom@18.2.0
    Validation: Audit index.tsx for mounting logic. Check console for hydration warnings.

    Rollback Procedures

    • Revert Batch 1: git checkout main -- package.json package-lock.json && npm install
    • Verification: Ensure axios version returns to 0.21.1 via npm list axios.

    Next steps

    1. Apply Batch 1 immediately to clear security flags.
    2. Verify if react-transition-group is compatible with React 18 before starting Batch 3.
    3. Run the E2E suite specifically for the authentication flow after the axios update.

    Audit and risk-score outdated dependencies using changelog data.Create staged PR batches to keep builds green during large upgrades.Resolve complex peer-dependency conflicts without using --force.Provide explicit rollback commands for every dependency change.

    About this skill

    The problem

    Staring at a wall of outdated packages leads to "update fatigue." Mass updates break the build, while manual changelog hunting for dozens of dependencies wastes hours of engineering time.

    What it does

    • Analyzes lockfiles and manifests to generate a risk-scored inventory of outdated dependencies.
    • Groups upgrades into reviewable, staged batches to avoid monolithic, unreviewable pull requests.
    • Extracts breaking change evidence from changelogs to categorize updates into low, medium, and high risk tiers.
    • Provides explicit rollback commands and verification steps for every stage of the plan.
    • Resolves peer-dependency conflicts with a tiered approach, documenting the maintenance debt of each option.

    Why this beats prompting it yourself

    General LLMs often hallucinate breaking changes or suggest dangerous --force flags. This skill enforces a strict evidence-based policy, requiring changelog proof for risk claims and isolating major version jumps into single PRs to protect your CI pipeline.

    Use cases

    • Quarterly dependency maintenance for large monorepos.
    • Emergency security patching without breaking unrelated features.
    • Unblocking stalled projects with complex peer-dependency conflicts.
    • Generating clear upgrade roadmaps for architectural reviews.

    Known limitations

    Requires users to provide the relevant lockfiles and changelog text/links for accurate risk scoring. Does not execute the code changes automatically.
