upgrade-tools

upgrade-tools is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dot. It costs 21 tokens per session (1,123 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for updating pinned development tools and project dependencies one technology group at a time.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when upgrading language packages, toolchains, infrastructure providers, container images, CI workflows, or formatters.
Why use it?
It makes it easier to identify which update caused a failure and avoids debugging many changes at once.

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-tools 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 today.

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.

Upgrade Tools

Upgrade one repository's tools and dependencies to their latest stable releases, validating each ecosystem. The playbook owns the ecosystem commands; mise owns exact pins.

Workflow

  1. Scope to the requested repository: upgrade only the repository the user named, by default the current one. Each repository owns its pins: never bump another because fmind/dot or a sibling changed. A multi-repository upgrade needs the user's explicit list; upgrade each on its own merits with its own candidate, gate, and report, canonicalizing paths and linked worktrees so none is upgraded twice.
  2. Separate audit from upgrade: a disk-space or version-reuse check compares current declarations, locks, backends and installed versions without resolving new releases or installing tools. Include restored project directories with mise/runtime files even when .git is missing; report recovery gaps and validation limits. Record floating selectors, duplicate installations and justified compatibility exceptions separately.
  3. Start from a green baseline: mise run check and mise run test must be green in a repository before its first bump so regressions are attributable. Preserve dirty work through git-worktree; report pre-existing failures separately.
  4. mise first: in fmind/dot run mise run upgrade; elsewhere resolve the latest stable releases of the project's own tools and pin them exactly per the tool version rules, keeping incompatible pins with evidence.
  5. Python dependencies next: they decide whether the new toolchain builds and tests the project; follow the playbook for pyproject.toml and uv.lock, then validate.
  6. Infrastructure and images after that (OpenTofu providers, container base images), which consume the language artifacts.
  7. CI and formatter config last (GitHub Actions, dprint), the outermost layer and the least likely to cascade.
  8. Stop the failing repository's upgrade and diagnose before advancing its next ecosystem. Keep its original working pins if the upgrade cannot be qualified.
  9. Verify the final candidate: run the repository gate; test hook wiring when it changed. lefthook run pre-commit --all-files can format and restage unrelated work, so exercise it only in an isolated candidate when the original tree is dirty.
  10. Commit per ecosystem when requested: use chore(deps): upgrade <ecosystem> to latest with its lockfile (mise run upgrade spans several ecosystems at once, so split its commits by lockfile), per conventional-commit.
  11. Report and preview cleanup: list the adopted versions, retained exceptions, and gate results, then preview cleanup as in the playbook; deleting installations needs separate authorization.

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.

upgrade-tools is a skill published in the GitHub repository fmind/dot (12 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 1,123 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
