Automatically detects the package manager. argument-hint: [specific package name, or blank for all outdated] --- # Dependency Upgrade Safely upgrade dependencies one at a time, testing between each upgrade. ## Context - Package manager detection: !ls package-lock.json 2>/dev/null && echo "npm" || ls yarn.lock 2>/dev/null && echo "yarn" || ls pnpm-lock.yaml 2>/dev/null && echo "pnpm" || ls bun.lockb 2>/dev/null && echo "bun" || ls Cargo.toml 2>/dev/null && echo "cargo" || ls go.mod 2>/dev/null && echo "go" || ls requirements.txt pyproject.toml 2>/dev/null && echo "pip/uv" || echo "Unknown" - Current branch: !git branch --show-current - Working tree status: !git status --short - Node version (if applicable): !node --version 2>/dev/null || echo "N/A" - Python version (if applicable): !python3 --version 2>/dev/null || echo "N/A" ## Workflow ### Phase 1: Detect Environment 1. Identify the package manager based on the context above 2. Confirm a clean working tree (stash or commit uncommitted changes first) 3. Ensure tests pass BEFORE any upgrades : this is the baseline: -Node.js :npm test /yarn test /pnpm test /bun test - Python:pytest /python -m pytest - Rust:cargo test - Go:go test ./... 4. If baseline tests fail, STOP and report : do not upgrade on a broken baseline ### Phase 2: List Outdated Dependencies Run the appropriate outdated command: - npm:npm outdated --json - yarn:yarn outdated - pnpm:pnpm outdated - bun:bun outdated - pip/uv:uv pip list --outdated orpip list --outdated --format=json - cargo:cargo outdated (if installed) or checkCargo.toml - go:go list -m -u all ### Phase 3: Categorize Updates Sort dependencies into risk categories: `` ## Outdated Dependencies ### Patch Updates (safe : bug fixes only) | Package | Current | Latest | Notes | |---------|---------|--------|-------| | ... | ... | ... | ... | ### Minor Updates (review : new features, possible deprecations) | Package | Current | Latest | Notes | |---------|---------|--------|-------| | ... | ... | ... | ... | ### Major Updates (careful : breaking changes expected) | Package | Current | Latest | Notes | |---------|---------|--------|-------| | ... | ... | ... | ... | If $ARGUMENTS specifies a package, focus only on that package. ### Phase 4: Upgrade One at a Time Process in this order: patches first, then minors, then majors. For EACH dependency: 1. **Announce** which package is being upgraded and from/to versions 2. **Check changelog/release notes** for breaking changes: - Look at the package's GitHub releases or CHANGELOG - For major upgrades, summarize breaking changes before proceeding 3. **Upgrade** the single package: - npm: npm install package@latest - yarn: yarn upgrade package@latest - pnpm: pnpm update package@latest - bun: bun update package - pip/uv: uv add package@latest or uv pip install--upgrade package - cargo: update version in Cargo.toml, then cargo update-p package - go: go get package@latest && go mod tidy 4. **Run tests** immediately 5. **If tests PASS:** - Commit: chore(deps): upgrade [package] from [old] to [new] - Continue to next package 6. **If tests FAIL:** - Revert: git checkout -- . and restore lockfile - Record the failure reason - If it is a minor/patch with failing tests, flag as unexpected - Move to the next package ### Phase 5: Summary Report `` ## Dependency Upgrade Report ### Successfully Upgraded | Package | From | To | Type | |---------|------|----|------| | ... | ... | ...| patch/minor/major | ### Failed (Reverted) | Package | From | To | Failure Reason | |---------|------|----|----------------| | ... | ... | ...| ... | ### Skipped | Package | From | To | Reason | |---------|------|----|--------| | ... | ... | ...| ... | ##
