Upgrade every dependency of the repository to its latest stable or LTS release (runtimes, tools, images, CI, Terraform, libraries), then run the gates and hold back what breaks.
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
# arch-upgrade-deps The guideline keeps every dependency on its latest stable release, the current active LTS line where the technology publishes one (Technology Choices and How to Override Them, Versions, in `../../architecture.md`; lens `DEL-26` in `../../lenses/delivery.md`; paths from this skill's folder as `realpath` resolves it). Releases keep coming, so a project drifts unless something moves it. This skill moves it in one change, proves the change with the repository's own gates, and leaves the working tree for a person to review. ## Input `[<dependency> ...] [--plan] [--reset-local-data]` Examples: empty (every dependency), `python node postgres`, `--plan`, `valkey --reset-local-data`. Names limit the upgrade to those dependencies. `--plan` stops after the plan table and edits nothing. `--reset-local-data` lets the validation remove the local dependency volumes when a backing service moves a major; without it the skill never removes them. Nothing else is asked for. ## Procedure 1. Read the Versions subsection and `DEL-26` in full. Run `git status`; refuse when the working tree has uncommitted changes, so the diff this skill leaves holds only the upgrade. …

How to install
mdr add baristaze/swe_guidelines/arch-upgrade-deps@sha256:2d1008cf652c20a5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261002.b539cc6, 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.
