Secure dependency upgrades with supply chain protection, cooldowns, and staged rollout. Use when upgrading deps, configuring security policies, or preventing supply chain attacks.

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

Manage dependency upgrades with supply chain security, compatibility analysis, staged rollout, and comprehensive testing across all major package managers.

## When to Use This Skill

- Upgrading major framework or library versions
- Configuring supply chain attack prevention (cooldown, script blocking, lockfile hardening)
- Setting up secure package manager configuration
- Resolving dependency conflicts or peer dependency issues
- Planning incremental upgrade paths with testing
- Automating dependency updates with Renovate, Dependabot, or Snyk
- Auditing dependencies for vulnerabilities
- Setting up CI/CD dependency security workflows

## Two Modes of Operation

**Interactive** — Walk through setup questions to generate tailored config. Use for fresh setup.

**Default** — Apply recommended defaults immediately: 7-day cooldown, block all scripts, frozen-lockfile, lockfile-lint, Dependabot with cooldown. Customization optional.

## Interactive Setup Flow

When the user wants tailored configuration, walk through these decisions. Skip this section entirely if using default mode.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add secondsky/claude-skills/dependency-upgrade@sha256:efede82d93cb1c6a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260514.120edd6, 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.
