Does it support automated updates?

It provides optimized configurations for tools like Renovate and Dependabot to automate minor updates while creating a structured review process for major ones.

Can I use this for both npm and Yarn?

Yes, the skill includes specific commands and strategies for both npm and Yarn package managers, including lockfile management and deduplication.

Why is a staged upgrade better than a bulk update?

Staged upgrades allow you to isolate breaking changes and test incremental stability, making rollbacks easier and preventing cascading failures during the migration.

What testing frameworks are supported?

The skill outlines testing strategies compatible with Jest, React Testing Library, Cypress, and visual regression tools to ensure no regressions occur during upgrades.

How does this skill help with breaking changes?

It identifies breaking changes via changelog analysis and suggests automated codemods or custom migration scripts to refactor affected code automatically.
