Dependency Upgrade Manager

About

The Dependency Upgrade skill equips Claude with a robust framework for managing complex library updates and framework migrations. It facilitates deep dependency tree auditing, compatibility matrix mapping, and the execution of staged upgrade paths to prevent breaking changes from disrupting development. By integrating automated codemods, comprehensive testing strategies (unit, integration, and E2E), and clear rollback planning, this skill ensures that modernizing your tech stack is a safe, predictable, and highly documented process.
