Bring dependencies current without breaking the build: find what is vulnerable, deprecated or behind, classify each target version by risk, apply what is safe, verify, and roll back what is not.
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 <!-- routing-eval reads the next line; why it sits in the body: AGENT_TEMPLATE.md --> Trigger phrases: "upgrade dependencies", "outdated packages", "bump versions", "update packages", "keep dependencies current" ## When Staying on current versions as an ongoing practice, or reacting to a CVE. [[dependency-audit]] tells you what is wrong; this decides what to do about it and does it. It **mutates the manifest and the lockfile**, so it carries the same shape as [[db-migration]]: detect the tool, classify by risk, gate the dangerous class behind approval, apply, verify, roll back on red. ## 1 — Ask the three separate questions They are three different problems with three different answers, and the tooling keeps them separate too. | Question | Node | .NET | Python | |---|---|---|---| | What has a **known CVE**? | `npm audit --json` | `dotnet list package --vulnerable` | `pip-audit` | | What is **deprecated**? | `npm view <pkg> deprecated` | `dotnet list package --deprecated` | registry / project notes | | What is simply **behind**? | `npm outdated --json` | `dotnet list package --outdated` | `pip list --outdated` | …

How to install
mdr add byerlikaya/claude-starter-kit/dependency-upgrade@sha256:67d305208a7ea107The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.68939f0, 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.
