About dependency-upgrade
dependency-upgrade
Manage major dependency version upgrades
dependency-upgrade is an agent skill from the wshobson/agents collection for managing major version upgrades of the dependencies in a project. It starts with a review of semantic versioning, the MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH scheme that tells you whether an upgrade is expected to break things, and then covers compatibility analysis to find what a new version changes. The skill describes staged upgrade strategies that move a project in controlled steps rather than in one jump, and it covers comprehensive testing, including compatibility matrices where several dependencies must work together. It applies when upgrading framework versions, updating dependencies with known security vulnerabilities, modernizing legacy dependencies, resolving dependency conflicts, planning an incremental upgrade path across several major versions, and automating routine dependency updates. The skill is meant to keep upgrades safe and reviewable, so that a major change is tested and rolled out deliberately instead of being merged blind. It works on the project's own dependency manifests and test suite, so the agent needs access to those files to be useful. It is installed with the skills CLI from the wshobson/agents repository. Its skills.sh page showed about 10.9K installs and passing results from three security audits at the time of the scan.
