update-dependencies

update-dependencies is a skill for Claude Code from tobihagemann/turbo. It costs 70 tokens per session (2,043 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for upgrading a project's software packages while checking for breaking changes in major versions. Dependencies are external libraries and tools that the project uses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review available updates, account for runtime or platform version pins, and choose an upgrade strategy.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unexpected failures when package updates change APIs, supported runtimes, or required configuration.

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

update-dependencies 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.

Update Dependencies

Upgrade project dependencies, researching breaking changes for major version updates.

Optional filter: $ARGUMENTS (e.g., react, Alamofire, serde tokio)

Task Tracking

At the start, use TaskCreate to create a task for each phase:

  1. Run /review-dependencies skill
  2. User strategy selection
  3. Research breaking changes
  4. User confirmation
  5. Execute upgrades
  6. Apply migrations
  7. Run /run-checks skill
  8. Exercise upgraded schema against the real store
  9. Report results
  10. Recommend next steps

Phase 1: Review Dependencies

Run the /review-dependencies skill to detect package managers and discover available updates. If no updates are available, stop.

Phase 2: User Strategy Selection

Before summarizing, set aside packages whose version tracks a pinned runtime or platform rather than the newest release, such as runtime type definitions and platform SDKs. Find the pin the project declares (version manager file, engines field, container base image, CI setup step) and hold any version beyond it until the pin moves.

Present a summary showing:

  • Count and list of major updates (with current → target versions)
  • Count of minor updates
  • Count of patch updates
  • Packages set aside, each with the pin that governs it

Use AskUserQuestion for upgrade strategy:

Header: "Strategy" Options:

  • Cautious — Upgrade minor/patch first, then major one-by-one with research
  • All at once — Research all major changes, then upgrade everything together
  • Skip major — Only upgrade minor and patch versions
  • Interactive — Ask for each major update individually

When a major upgrade would force a migration that is costly to reverse, present a Get a second opinion option in place of Interactive, keeping the question at four options. It runs the /consult-codex skill for which strategy the breaking changes warrant. Then resolve the strategy with that answer in hand, re-asking when the choice stays the user's. A freeform answer asking to decide each major update individually selects the Interactive strategy.

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.
