Does it support automated update tools?

Yes, the skill provides pre-built configuration templates for Renovate and Dependabot to help automate minor/patch updates while managing major version alerts.

Can it handle monorepos or workspaces?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and commands for managing upgrades across workspaces in environments like npm and yarn.

What is a staged upgrade strategy?

A staged upgrade strategy is a phased approach where dependencies are updated one major version or one logical group at a time, followed by rigorous testing, to isolate and resolve issues incrementally.

How does this skill help with breaking changes?

It identifies potential breaking changes through changelog analysis and provides strategies for using codemods and custom migration scripts to automate code updates safely.

Streamlines major software dependency upgrades through compatibility analysis, staged migration strategies, and rigorous testing frameworks.

Acerca de

This skill provides a comprehensive framework for managing the complexities of major version upgrades in software projects. It guides users through dependency auditing, semantic versioning checks, and the creation of staged upgrade paths to minimize breaking changes. By integrating automated tools like codemods, compatibility matrices, and multi-layered testing strategies—including unit, integration, and visual regression—it ensures that library and framework updates are performed safely, predictably, and with clear rollback options in case of failure.
