Does it support monorepos or workspaces?

Absolutely. It includes commands and logic for managing upgrades across npm and yarn workspaces to ensure consistency across all sub-packages.

How does this skill handle breaking changes?

The skill identifies breaking changes via changelogs and provides automated migration scripts or codemods to refactor code for the new API versions.

Can I use this for specific frameworks like React or Vue?

Yes, it includes specific strategies for popular frameworks, including version-specific compatibility matrices and specialized testing patterns for major library ecosystems.

How does it prevent project breakage during upgrades?
