Does this skill support both npm and yarn?

Yes, the skill is package manager agnostic and provides standardized commands and best practices for npm, yarn, and workspace-based environments.

How does this skill handle breaking changes in libraries?

The skill provides a framework for identifying breaking changes through changelog analysis and utilizes migration scripts or automated codemods to refactor code to the new API standards.

Can it help resolve peer dependency conflicts?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for identifying the root cause of conflicts and provides commands for both npm and yarn to resolve or override peer dependency issues safely.

How does it ensure the upgrade doesn't break the application?

It implements a staged rollout strategy where dependencies are updated one at a time, followed by a comprehensive battery of unit, integration, and E2E tests after every change.

Deployment & DevOps

Manages major software dependency upgrades through compatibility analysis, staged rollout strategies, and automated testing frameworks.

About

The Dependency Upgrade Manager skill provides a structured framework for handling complex version migrations and breaking changes in software projects. It enables Claude to perform deep dependency audits, analyze version compatibility matrices, and execute incremental upgrade paths that minimize risk. By integrating automated codemods, peer dependency resolution strategies, and comprehensive testing workflows—including unit, integration, and visual regression tests—this skill ensures that modernizing a codebase or patching security vulnerabilities is handled systematically with clear rollback plans and documentation.
