Plans and executes dependency upgrades: batches by risk, changelog-driven majors, CVE overrides, one revertable commit per batch. Use when asked to upgrade packages, merge bot update PRs, or act on an audit report.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Dependency Upgrade Execute dependency upgrades so that each step is verified and each batch is revertable. The failure mode this skill exists to prevent: a bulk bump to `latest`, a green-looking build, and a runtime break three days later that `git bisect` can't isolate because fifteen packages moved in one commit. ## When to Activate - "Upgrade/update dependencies", "bump X to v9", "fix `npm audit`", a bot PR needs handling. - An awesome-dependency-audit report produced findings to remediate — this skill is its acting half. Do not activate to decide *whether* a package is risky (the audit owns detection) or to add a new dependency (ask-first, outside both skills). ## Work Process 1. Inventory before touching — for each candidate: current resolved version (lockfile, not manifest), target version, direct or transitive, where the version is *declared* (the package manifest, or a central version file, workspace catalog, or parent BOM that every module inherits from), and why it's moving (security fix, feature need, hygiene). No reason → it waits; churn is not hygiene. CI actions, language runtimes and container base images are dependencies too and go in the same inventory… …

How to install
mdr add khasky/awesome-agent-skills/awesome-dependency-upgrade@sha256:9a014821339f5bc4The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.a4259a5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
