Upgrade Dependencies Without Breaking
Example session with this skill installed
Inspect my package.json and update any outdated dependencies that won't break my React build. Check for vulnerabilities too.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the upgrade dependencies without
Project Detected: React / npm / package-lock.json
Dependencies Updated
- lodash: 4.17.20 -> 4.17.21
- axios: 0.21.1 -> 0.28.0
Validation Result
All unit tests passed. Build successful.
Deferred Upgrades
- react: 17 to 18 (Major version requires manual hook audit)

About this skill
The problem
Blindly running update commands often breaks builds, creates peer dependency conflicts, or introduces regressions through breaking changes. Developers lose hours manually untangling lockfiles or debugging removed APIs after a bulk upgrade.
What it does
- Detects package managers, lockfiles, and runtimes to ensure environment-appropriate commands.
- Performs staged upgrades, separating safe patches from minor and major version bumps.
- Executes baseline and post-upgrade validation including tests, type checks, and builds.
- Applies minimal compatibility fixes for changed imports or configuration formats.
- Generates a structured audit of changed versions, modified files, and deferred risks.
Frameworks & tools
Supports npm, pnpm, Yarn, pip, Poetry, uv, Composer, Cargo, and Go modules.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
General LLMs often suggest destructive "npm audit fix --force" style commands that corrupt environments. This skill follows a strict stability-first protocol, verifying the build at every step and refusing to delete lockfiles or hide vulnerabilities.
Use cases
- Modernizing legacy projects with deeply outdated dependency trees.
- Resolving complex peer dependency conflicts in existing lockfiles.
- Patching security vulnerabilities without triggering breaking changes.
- Automating routine monthly dependency maintenance safely.
Known limitations
Requires a local environment where tests and build commands can be executed for full validation. Major version migrations are deferred if the risk is unclear.

Requires execution access to run tests and builds. Major upgrades are individual and may be deferred if breaking changes are high-risk. Baseline failures must be recorded first.
