deps-upgrade

deps-upgrade is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,520 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of deps-upgrade, Apache-2.0.

A planned process for updating outdated software dependencies, including libraries and tools a project relies on. It groups safer updates, handles breaking changes separately, and checks lockfiles and security findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Remediating CVEs, preparing for major dependency releases, reviewing lockfiles, handling deprecations, and performing scheduled dependency maintenance.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of unrepeatable builds, missed indirect vulnerabilities, and large upgrades that are difficult to diagnose. It also keeps security fixes and compatibility work organized.

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

deps-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 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.

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 — 86 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Dependencies are inherited code. Upgrades are inherited risk. Patch in batch, minor in batch with a smoke test, major one-at-a-time with a CHANGELOG read.

When to Apply / NOT

Apply: CVE remediation; major upstream release; compatibility forcing function; quarterly hygiene cadence; pre-release lockfile audit; deprecation warnings accumulating.

NOT apply: active feature branch with high churn; pre-release freeze window; mid-incident; API-break-driven refactor.

Anti-patterns

  • Big-bang upgrade: bumping every dep at once.
  • Skipping the lockfile: floating ranges create non-reproducible builds.
  • Ignoring the CHANGELOG: major bumps without reading upstream notes.
  • Suppressing deprecations: --warning-as-error=off defers cost.
  • Bypassing audit signals: npm audit fix --force without reading.
  • No smoke test on minor: minor versions can introduce behavior shifts.
  • Forgetting transitives: surface deps look fine; transitive CVE remains.
  • Mixing concerns in one commit: upgrade + refactor + feature — atomize per <git> policy.

Workflow (language-neutral)

  1. Inventory — enumerate manifests + lockfiles across ecosystems. Many canonical names are extensionless (go.mod, Gemfile, pom.xml); filtering by extension alone misses them. fd only takes one glob per call, so anchor on canonical filenames via a single regex:

    fd -t f '^(package(-lock)?\.json|pnpm-lock\.yaml|yarn\.lock|Cargo\.(toml|lock)|pyproject\.toml|poetry\.lock|requirements.*\.txt|Pipfile\.lock|go\.(mod|sum)|pom\.xml|build\.gradle(\.kts)?|settings\.gradle(\.kts)?|libs\.versions\.toml|gradle\.lockfile|Gemfile(\.lock)?|.*\.gemspec|.*\.opam|dune-project|opam\.locked|mix\.(exs|lock)|composer\.(json|lock))$'
    

    Add ecosystem-specific names if the project uses something rarer (Pipfile, Brewfile, flake.nix, shard.yml, pubspec.yaml). Capture a lockfile snapshot for later diff (difft).

  2. Scan outdated — run ecosystem outdated/upgradable command. Capture report.

  3. Categorize — bin every candidate as patch / minor / major.

  4. Patch batch — bump all patches at once; lockfile-only diff. Run full test suite. Commit chore(deps): patch sweep.

  5. Minor batch — bump minors together; smoke-test. Read each minor CHANGELOG. Commit chore(deps): minor sweep.

  6. Major individually — one major version per commit. Read CHANGELOG / migration guide first; apply codemod or manual edits; run full suite + adversarial tests. Commit chore(deps)!: bump <pkg> <old>→<new>.

  7. Lockfile audit — compare pre/post with difft (not diff). Check transitive churn.

  8. Re-scan — run CVE scanner again post-upgrade.

  9. Hand off — major upgrade requires API-break propagation → cross to a refactor / break-compat workflow. New CVEs → hand to security-audit workflow.
