Secure Dependency Upgrade
Executes secure dependency upgrades with supply chain protection, release cooldown periods, and automated lockfile hardening.
The Secure Dependency Upgrade skill equips Claude Code with defense-in-depth workflows to safely update packages across npm, pnpm, Bun, Yarn, and Deno. It protects projects against software supply chain attacks by enforcing release cooldown windows, blocking dangerous post-install lifecycle scripts, and validating lockfile integrity. Designed for engineering teams handling major framework upgrades or establishing zero-trust package manager configurations, this skill orchestrates pre-install audits with npq and Socket CLI, assists in staged rollouts, and generates hardened CI/CD configurations for tools like Dependabot and Renovate.
