About
The Dependency Upgrade skill provides a structured framework for navigating the complexities of major version updates in modern software projects. It guides users through dependency auditing, semantic versioning analysis, and the creation of compatibility matrices to prevent breaking changes. By implementing a staged upgrade strategy—starting from planning through incremental updates to final validation—the skill ensures system stability while modernizing the tech stack. It also covers advanced techniques like automated codemods for API migration, visual regression testing, and integration with automated tools like Renovate or Dependabot to maintain a healthy project lifecycle.
