Dependency Upgrade Manager

About

The Dependency Upgrade skill provides a structured framework for managing complex library and framework transitions within any codebase. It guides users through the entire upgrade lifecycle—from initial audit and dependency tree analysis to staged migration paths and automated breaking change resolution using codemods. By emphasizing compatibility matrices and a multi-layered testing strategy (unit, integration, visual regression, and E2E), this skill ensures that modernizing your tech stack is predictable, safe, and well-documented, minimizing the risk of regression in production environments.
