What is the benefit of a staged upgrade strategy?

A staged approach minimizes risk by upgrading one major package or version at a time, allowing for isolated testing and easier debugging of regressions.

Can it resolve peer dependency conflicts?

Yes, the skill includes specific strategies for resolving peer dependency errors in npm and yarn, including lock file management and forced resolution patterns.

Does this work with automated tools like Dependabot?

Absolutely. It provides optimized configuration templates for both Renovate and Dependabot to help you automate minor and patch updates while flagging major ones.

How does this skill help with breaking changes?

It provides structured methods for identifying breaking changes through changelog analysis and offers guidance on using codemods to automate code transformations.
