Use this skill when the user needs Master major dependency version upgrades, compatibility analysis, staged upgrade strategies, and comprehensive testing approaches and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.

Dependency Upgrade workflow skill. Use this skill when the user needs Master major dependency version upgrades, compatibility analysis, staged upgrade strategies, and comprehensive testing approaches and the operator should preserve the upstream workflow, copied support files, and provenance before merging or handing off.
This public intake copy packages plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/dependency-upgrade from https://github.com/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills into the native Omni Skills editorial shape without hiding its origin.
Use it when the operator needs the upstream workflow, support files, and repository context to stay intact while the public validator and private enhancer continue their normal downstream flow.
This intake keeps the copied upstream files intact and uses the external_source block in metadata.json plus ORIGIN.md as the provenance anchor for review.
Dependency Upgrade Master major dependency version upgrades, compatibility analysis, staged upgrade strategies, and comprehensive testing approaches.
Imported source sections that did not map cleanly to the public headings are still preserved below or in the support files. Notable imported sections: Semantic Versioning Review, Dependency Analysis, Staged Upgrade Strategy, Breaking Change Handling, Testing Strategy, Automated Dependency Updates.
When to Use This Skill
Use this section as the trigger filter. It should make the activation boundary explicit before the operator loads files, runs commands, or opens a pull request.
The task is unrelated to dependency upgrade
You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Operating Table
Situation
Start here
Why it matters
First-time use
metadata.json
Confirms repository, branch, commit, and imported path through the external_source block before touching the copied workflow
Provenance review
ORIGIN.md
Gives reviewers a plain-language audit trail for the imported source
Workflow execution
SKILL.md
Starts with the smallest copied file that materially changes execution
Supporting context
SKILL.md
Adds the next most relevant copied source file without loading the entire package
Handoff decision

Workflow
This workflow is intentionally editorial and operational at the same time. It keeps the imported source useful to the operator while still satisfying the public intake standards that feed the downstream enhancer flow.
Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
Provide actionable steps and verification.
If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Confirm the user goal, the scope of the imported workflow, and whether this skill is still the right router for the task.
Read the overview and provenance files before loading any copied upstream support files.
Load only the references, examples, prompts, or scripts that materially change the outcome for the current request.

Imported: Instructions

Provide actionable steps and verification.
If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Use @dependency-upgrade-v2 to handle <task>. Start from the copied upstream workflow, load only the files that change the outcome, and keep provenance visible in the answer.
Explanation: This is the safest starting point when the operator needs the imported workflow, but not the entire repository.
Example 2: Ask for a provenance-grounded review
Review @dependency-upgrade-v2 against metadata.json and ORIGIN.md, then explain which copied upstream files you would load first and why.
Explanation: Use this before review or troubleshooting when you need a precise, auditable explanation of origin and file selection.
Example 3: Narrow the copied support files before execution
Use @dependency-upgrade-v2 for <task>. Load only the copied references, examples, or scripts that change the outcome, and name the files explicitly before proceeding.
Explanation: This keeps the skill aligned with progressive disclosure instead of loading the whole copied package by default.
Example 4: Build a reviewer packet
Review @dependency-upgrade-v2 using the copied upstream files plus provenance, then summarize any gaps before merge.
Explanation: This is useful when the PR is waiting for human review and you want a repeatable audit packet.
Best Practices
Treat the generated public skill as a reviewable packaging layer around the upstream repository. The goal is to keep provenance explicit and load only the copied source material that materially improves execution.
Read Changelogs: Understand what changed
Upgrade Incrementally: One major version at a time
Test Thoroughly: Unit, integration, E2E tests
Check Peer Dependencies: Resolve conflicts early
Use Lock Files: Ensure reproducible installs
Automate Updates: Use Renovate or Dependabot
Monitor: Watch for runtime errors post-upgrade

Troubleshooting
Problem: The operator skipped the imported context and answered too generically
Symptoms: The result ignores the upstream workflow in plugins/antigravity-awesome-skills/skills/dependency-upgrade, fails to mention provenance, or does not use any copied source files at all.
Solution: Re-open metadata.json, ORIGIN.md, and the most relevant copied upstream files. Check the external_source block first, then restate the provenance before continuing.
Problem: The imported workflow feels incomplete during review
Symptoms: Reviewers can see the generated SKILL.md, but they cannot quickly tell which references, examples, or scripts matter for the current task.
Solution: Point at the exact copied references, examples, scripts, or assets that justify the path you took. If the gap is still real, record it in the PR instead of hiding it.
Problem: The task drifted into a different specialization
Symptoms: The imported skill starts in the right place, but the work turns into debugging, architecture, design, security, or release orchestration that a native skill handles better.
Solution: Use the related skills section to hand off deliberately. Keep the imported provenance visible so the next skill inherits the right context instead of starting blind.

Phase 1: Planning
# 1. Identify current versions

# 2. Check for breaking changes# Read CHANGELOG.md and MIGRATION.md# 3. Create upgrade planecho"Upgrade order:
1. TypeScript

Phase 2: Incremental Updates
# Don't upgrade everything at once!# Step 1: Update TypeScript
npm install typescript@latest
# Test
npm run test

# Step 2: Update React (one major version at a time)
npm install react@17 react-dom@17
# Test again

# And so on...
Phase 3: Validation
