Generate repo-local dependency upgrade packs under `.agents/plans/upgrade/topic-slug/` with a playbook, trigger prompt, operator mode, and canonical manifest. Use when Codex needs to research an anchor package, expand related dependencies, detect target repo context, and create a reusable upgrade folder before any implementation work starts.

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

# Upgrade Pack Generator

Generate upgrade-pack folders for dependency families in two stages:

1. Author or refine a reusable family override.
2. Instantiate a repo-specific pack from that family plus live repo context.

The generator is monorepo-aware. During enrichment it must lock an explicit
owner surface for the family:

- repo root
- one owning workspace
- repo root plus related workspaces

The generated pack is docs/research only. Do not implement package changes while
generating the pack.

## Core Workflow

1. Read [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md).
2. Decide the mode:
   - family authoring
   - repo instantiation
3. Detect repo context first:

   ```bash
   python3 scripts/detect_repo_context.py --repo-root /path/to/repo --json
   ```

4. Bootstrap a manifest from the anchor package:

   ```bash
   python3 scripts/bootstrap_manifest.py \
     --repo-root /path/to/repo \
     --anchor-package lucide-react \
     --out /tmp/upgrade-pack.yaml
   ```

5. Enrich the manifest with live repo probes and official upstream guidance:

   ```bash
   python3 scripts/enrich_manifest.py --manifest /tmp/upgrade-pack.yaml
   ```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add bjornmelin/dev-skills/upgrade-pack-generator@sha256:952b68bd85871587

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260610.5fd029c, 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.
