Does this skill support Central Package Management (CPM)?

Yes, the skill automatically detects Directory.Packages.props and updates versions centrally if your project is configured for Central Package Management.

What happens if a package upgrade breaks my build?

After upgrading, the skill runs a dotnet build. If errors are detected, it identifies the likely cause and suggests using /dotnet:build --fix or reverting the package version.

Can I preview changes before they are applied?

Yes, you can use the --dry-run flag to see exactly which packages would be updated and to what versions without modifying any project files.

How does it help with breaking changes during major updates?

The skill uses AI search tools to research migration guides and breaking changes for major version upgrades, presenting you with the relevant context before you decide to proceed.
