Upgrade dependencies without breaking the project: audit what is outdated and why it matters (security, EOL, features), read the changelogs and migration guides for each major, upgrade in ordered small batches with the test suite and typecheck run after each, apply codemods where they exist, handle lockfile and peer-dependency conflicts, and leave a record of what changed and what was deferred. Use when a security advisory lands, when a runtime or framework reaches end of life, when a…

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

Upgrades fail when they are done all at once and diagnosed all at once. The discipline is: know what changed, change one thing, run the tests, commit, repeat. A day of small green steps beats a week of bisecting a red branch.

## Step 1: inventory

- `npm outdated` / `pnpm outdated` / `pip list --outdated` / `cargo outdated` / `go list -m -u all`, plus the audit: `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, `cargo audit`, `govulncheck`.
- For each candidate: current, latest, is it a major bump, does an advisory apply, is the current version EOL, does it block another upgrade (e.g. the test runner must move before the framework can).
- Classify: **security** (do first, minimal version that fixes), **blocking** (needed for another upgrade), **major** (needs reading), **minor/patch** (batchable).

Write the plan as a table before touching anything; get agreement if the list is long or a major touches the framework.

## Step 2: prepare

- Green baseline: full test suite, typecheck, lint, and build pass on the current commit; record timings.
- A branch per major upgrade; one branch for the minor/patch batch.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add khaledsaeed18/dotclaude/dependency-upgrade@sha256:55d204e71cee5bf8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260921.8d3f9eb, 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.
