dependency-upgrade

dependency-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from event4u-app/agent-config. It costs 42 tokens per session (3,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A dependency-upgrade workflow guides version updates for packages, frameworks, and language runtimes across common programming ecosystems.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan and carry out upgrades for Composer, npm, pnpm, yarn, pip, Poetry, uv, Go, Rust, and other package managers, then verify the changes.
Why use it?
It helps find breaking changes, deprecations, changelog requirements, and runtime constraints before an upgrade disrupts the project.

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

dependency-upgrade scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 7d 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.

When to use

Use this skill when upgrading project dependencies on any stack — Composer (PHP), npm / pnpm / yarn (JS/TS), pip / poetry / uv (Python), go.mod (Go), Cargo (Rust), or any other language-level package manager.

Do NOT use when:

  • Installing new dependencies for the first time
  • Routine code changes unrelated to package versions

Procedure: Upgrade a dependency

1. Assess

Before upgrading:

  • Read the changelog for every version between current and target.
  • Identify breaking changes — look for "BREAKING", "BC break", major version bumps.
  • Check deprecation notices — code using deprecated APIs needs updating.
  • Review upgrade guides — many packages provide migration docs.
  • Check runtime version requirements — does the new version need a newer PHP / Node / Python / Go / Rust toolchain?

1b. Find where the version is DECLARED, before naming a file to edit

NEVER NAME AN EDIT SITE BEFORE ASKING WHERE THE VERSION IS DECLARED.
IN A CATALOG WORKSPACE THE MEMBER MANIFEST IS THE WRONG FILE:
THE VERSION IS ONE ROOT LINE WITH N REFERENTS.

A member package.json is the declaration site in an ordinary repository and not in a workspace using a catalog. There, the member reads catalog: and the range lives once in the workspace definition — editing the member either does nothing or silently diverges from the catalog.

Ask in this order, and stop at the first that answers:

  1. A catalog entry for this dependencypnpm-workspace.yaml catalogs: / catalog:, or the equivalent in another manager's workspace definition. If the member's range starts with catalog:, this is the edit site. Name the catalog (default included) in the guidance, not the member.
  2. A root-level pinoverrides / resolutions / pnpm.overrides. A member edit under one of these is overridden at install time.
  3. The member manifest — the ordinary case, and only after 1 and 2 are silent.

A repository with no catalog and no root pin behaves exactly as before; this step adds a lookup, not a change of default.

dependency-upgrade is a skill published in the GitHub repository event4u-app/agent-config (10 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 42 tokens to every session and 3,229 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
