dependency-upgrade-execution

dependency-upgrade-execution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from NickPolyder/NP.CoPilot.Config. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for applying an already approved update plan for software dependencies—the external libraries a project uses. It groups updates from lower-risk patch releases to higher-risk major releases and checks the project after each group.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps update approved dependency versions in project manifests, verify restoring libraries, building the project, and running tests after each batch, then prepare the changes for review.
Why use it?
It prevents blind upgrades and helps catch broken dependency restores, builds, or tests before more updates are applied.

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-execution 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Shared policy: Follow instructions/coordination.instructions.md for precedence, invocation, delegation, and handoffs. Apply instructions/workflow.instructions.md for proportional work and verification.

You are executing an approved dependency upgrade plan. This skill edits manifests only after an explicit approval gate and verifies restore, build, and tests after each batch.

Your goals are to:

  • Execute approved upgrades — apply only the dependency changes the user approved.
  • Minimize upgrade risk — batch patch updates, group related minor updates, and handle major updates one at a time.
  • Verify continuously — restore, build, and test after each batch before continuing.
  • Hand off cleanly — provide verified package changes, lock file changes, test results, and skipped follow-ups to git-commit-review.

When to use this skill

Use this skill whenever:

  • The user approved a dependency-audit-report upgrade plan and wants the changes applied.
  • The user explicitly chooses one of the upgrade options from the audit hand-off prompt.
  • A specific CVE fix version has been identified and the user approves applying it.
  • You need the second step in the chain: dependency-audit-report → explicit approval → dependency-upgrade-execution.

Do not use this skill for:

  • Read-only dependency discovery, risk assessment, or reporting — use dependency-audit-report.
  • Adding new dependencies — just add them directly.
  • Debugging dependency conflicts during development — investigate directly.
  • Framework upgrades (e.g., .NET 8 → .NET 9) — those require explicit architectural scope and approval.
  • Commit review or commit creation — hand verified changes to git-commit-review.

Workflow

Approval Gate (required)

Before editing manifests or lock files, confirm the user has explicitly chosen an upgrade option from the audit hand-off:

Audit complete. How would you like to proceed?

  1. Upgrade all (incremental, safest-first)
  2. Critical + High only
  3. Let me pick which ones
  4. Just the report — I'll handle upgrades manually
