Dependency Upgrade & Migration

About

The Dependency Upgrade skill provides a structured framework for modernizing project dependencies while minimizing technical debt and breaking changes. It equips developers with advanced strategies for auditing packages, resolving peer dependency conflicts, and implementing staged upgrade paths. By leveraging compatibility matrices, automated migration scripts, and robust testing patterns—including unit, integration, and visual regression tests—this skill ensures that framework migrations and major library updates are performed safely and predictably, reducing the risk of production regressions.
