absolute-upgrade

absolute-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maddhruv/absolute. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,149 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A controlled process for updating outdated or vulnerable software dependencies, including their version files and lockfiles. Dependencies are external packages a project relies on, while a lockfile records the exact versions installed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to bring packages up to date, replace deprecated dependencies, handle an outdated-dependency backlog, or move a specific package to a newer version.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of breaking the project during upgrades by grouping lower-risk updates and handling major version changes separately. Tests are run after each update wave.

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

absolute-upgrade 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 6d 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.

Absolute Upgrade

Bring dependencies current — safely, in risk-ranked waves, with tests green after each. Not a blind npm update: outdated and vulnerable deps are grouped by blast radius (patch/minor → safe wave; major/breaking → gated, one at a time, changelog-read), applied incrementally, and verified against the project's own test suite.

Runs the shared engine in references/health-engine.md — read it for the DETECT → SCAN → TRIAGE → FIX → VERIFY → REPORT loop and the safety contract. This file covers only what's specific to dependency upgrades.


When to use

  • Routine "bring deps up to date" / "upgrade our dependencies".
  • A specific bump: "upgrade React to 19", "move off the deprecated X package".
  • Clearing npm outdated / Dependabot backlog without 40 separate PRs.

Not for: adding a new dependency (that's a work/feature decision), or auditing vulnerabilities specifically → use /absolute audit (it triages CVEs; upgrade moves versions).


What it scans

Per ecosystem, list outdated deps with current → wanted → latest and the jump type:

Ecosystem Detect outdated Lockfile / manifest
npm npm outdated --json package-lock.json
pnpm pnpm outdated --format json pnpm-lock.yaml
yarn yarn outdated --json yarn.lock
Python (pip) pip list --outdated --format=json requirements*.txt
Python (poetry/uv) poetry show --outdated / uv pip list --outdated pyproject.toml + lock
Go go list -u -m -json all go.mod / go.sum

Also flag: deps with known deprecations, duplicate/multiple versions of the same package, and direct vs transitive (only direct deps are upgrade targets; transitives follow).


Risk ranking (TRIAGE)

Group the upgrade plan into waves by semver jump — safest first:

Wave Jump Default
1 patch (x.y.Z) batch together, fix now
2 minor (x.Y.z) batch by package family, fix now
3 major (X.y.z) / pre-1.0 minor one at a time, gated — read the changelog/migration guide first, list breaking changes

Changes

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.
