Upgrade Dependencies With Release Note Verification
Dependency upgrades can introduce breaking changes and obscure existing failures. This skill guides focused upgrades through release notes, baseline checks, targeted edits, and verification reports.
Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.
Review the Skillstore skill "dependency-upgrade" from https://skillstore.io/skills/agentkitco-dependency-upgrade.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/agentkitco-dependency-upgrade/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.
Use these links when an AI agent, crawler, or script needs clean context instead of reading the full page.
Using "dependency-upgrade". Plan a major-version dependency upgrade before editing.
Expected outcome:
Using "dependency-upgrade". Summarize a completed dependency upgrade and its verification.
Expected outcome:
All five static findings are false positives: Markdown backticks mark routine package queries, code searches, and a rollback report template. Version discovery concerns project dependencies, not system reconnaissance. No evidence found of prompt injection, credential theft, or data exfiltration in SKILL.md.

Upgrade one application package, trace changed APIs, and compare verification results with the baseline.
Review major-version migration notes, identify runtime requirements, and plan focused changes with an application smoke check.
Upgrade a dependency and cite security advisories only when confirmed by official advisories or release notes.
Find the installed version of [package] from the lockfile and resolve the latest available version. Report both before making changes.
Plan an upgrade of [package] from [current] to [target]. Review intermediate release notes, link breaking changes, and list affected files before editing.
Upgrade [package] to [target]. Record baseline checks, update through the package manager, apply required migrations, and compare verification results. Ask before runtime changes.
Upgrade [package] to [target] with required peers only. Show transitive conflicts and options without overrides. Request approval for runtime or peer version increases.

Debug Failures With Reproducible Evidence
Bug fixes based on guesses can miss the cause and introduce regressions. This skill guides reproduction, hypothesis testing, focused fixes, and verification with recorded evidence.
Verify Tests Ran Before Reporting Completion
Completion claims can hide skipped tests, stale results, or checks that never exercised a change. This skill guides fresh verification and reports evidence for each claim.
Write Pull Request Descriptions From Real Changes
Reviewers need clear explanations of changes, testing, and risk. This skill turns Git diffs and commits into structured pull request descriptions grounded in available evidence.
Preserve Progress Across Agent Sessions
Long sessions and agent changes can lose important project context. This skill creates a concise handoff with verified state, decisions, and ordered next steps.
Review Code Changes for Security Risks
Security defects can hide in small changes to input handling, authentication, and configuration. This skill guides scoped code triage with evidence, realistic severity, and actionable fixes.
Review Your Git Changes Before a Pull Request
Unreviewed changes can hide correctness, security, and compatibility problems. This skill guides an evidence-based review with prioritized findings and clearly reported validation results.
Build Reliable Test Automation
by 89jobrien
Weak tests slow releases and hide regressions. This skill guides test strategy, TDD, automation, coverage review, and Playwright web checks.
Review Code for Security, Quality, and Performance
by AutumnsGrove
Manual reviews can miss security, quality, and performance issues. This skill applies a structured workflow and optional analysis tools to produce prioritized feedback.
Plan Reliable Tests Across Your Codebase
by 0xDarkMatter
This skill helps teams choose test strategies, mocks, data fixtures, coverage gates, and CI patterns without mixing test scopes. It gives Claude, Codex, and Claude Code structured guidance for unit, integration, end-to-end, TDD, and pipeline testing.
Debug Technical Failures Systematically
by Asmayaseen
Quick fixes often hide the real cause and create regressions. This skill structures investigation, hypothesis testing, implementation, and verification around collected evidence.
Build Better Go Tests
by 89jobrien
Go teams need consistent tests across units, integrations, mocks, benchmarks, and coverage. This skill provides practical Go testing patterns that Claude, Codex, and Claude Code can apply during development.
Enforce Waterfall Phase Gates
by Chemiseblanc
AI coding sessions can skip requirements, design, or testing when pressure rises. This skill keeps work inside a strict waterfall flow with documented gates.
