upgrade-dependencies

upgrade-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from codenamev/claude_memory. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,485 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for updating Ruby gems, which are reusable packages, to newer versions while checking their release notes and compatibility with the codebase.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect the Gemfile and gemspec, find newer versions, update constraints, install the changes, run tests, and report what changed.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of breaking changes or hidden incompatibilities from blindly changing dependency versions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

upgrade-dependencies scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Dependency Upgrade Skill

Systematically upgrade Ruby gem dependencies by researching latest versions, reviewing release notes for breaking changes, updating version constraints, verifying with tests, and confirming codebase alignment.

The goal is a thoughtful upgrade — not blindly bumping versions, but understanding what changed and ensuring the codebase is compatible. This matters because a silent API change can introduce bugs that tests don't catch if the tests don't exercise the affected code path.

Process Overview

  1. Discover current dependencies and their constraints
  2. Research latest versions and release notes (in parallel)
  3. Analyze breaking changes and codebase impact
  4. Upgrade version constraints and install
  5. Verify with the full test suite
  6. Report a summary table with upgrade details

Step 1: Discover Current Dependencies

Read the gemspec and Gemfile to build a complete dependency inventory.

Read *.gemspec        → runtime dependencies (add_dependency)
Read Gemfile          → development dependencies (gem declarations)
Run: bundle outdated  → current vs latest versions, which are constrained

Build a working list with these columns:

  • Gem name
  • Source (gemspec or Gemfile)
  • Current constraint (e.g., ~> 5.0)
  • Installed version (from bundle outdated or Gemfile.lock)
  • Latest version (from bundle outdated)
  • Constrained? (is the version constraint preventing upgrade?)

Step 2: Research Release Notes

For each gem that has a newer version available, research what changed. Launch these as parallel Agent subagents — one per gem — to avoid sequential delays.

Each research agent should:

  1. Run gem search <name> --exact --versions to confirm the latest version
  2. Fetch the changelog or release notes from GitHub (check CHANGELOG.md, CHANGES, HISTORY.md, or GitHub Releases)
  3. Summarize changes between the installed version and latest version
  4. Flag any breaking changes, deprecations, or API changes
  5. Note if it's a major version bump (higher risk)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
