package-usage

description

Track which stacks across a Pulumi organization use a specific package and at what versions. Use for cross-stack audits, identifying outdated or unmaintained package versions across many stacks, finding affected stacks before publishing breaking changes to a component package, or planning coordinated upgrade rollouts. Do NOT use for upgrading a cloud provider package (pulumi-aws, pulumi-azure-native, pulumi-gcp, pulumi-kubernetes, etc.) in a single project — use skill `provider-upgrade` instead. Do NOT use for general infrastructure creation, resource provisioning, or how-to questions about a package.

API Reference

Query the Pulumi Cloud API with the pulumi api CLI subcommand. It authenticates with your existing Pulumi credentials and returns JSON.

Get the latest version of a package

pulumi api /api/registry/packages -F name={package_name} -F orgLogin={orgName}

Include orgLogin with the user's organization name. Omit -F name=... to list all packages visible to the organization (useful when the user has not named a specific package). The response contains a packages array. Each entry has a version field (the latest version), plus name, publisher, source, and packageStatus.

Get stack usage for a package

pulumi api /api/orgs/{orgName}/packages/usage -F packageName={package_name}

Replace {orgName} with the org name from context, PULUMI_ORG, or ask the user. packageName is required; query one package at a time.

Response fields:

• packageName: The queried package
• stacks: Array of {stackName, projectName, version, lastUpdate}
• totalStacks: Total count

Workflow: Find outdated stacks

Use when the user wants to know which stacks are using an outdated version of a package.

1. Get the latest version of the package
2. Get stack usage for the package
3. Compare each stack's version against the latest to identify outdated stacks
4. Present results using the output format below

Output Format

Present results as a markdown table followed by a summary line:

| Project | Stack | Current Version | Latest Version | Status |
|---------|-------|-----------------|----------------|--------|
| my-app  | dev   | 6.40.0          | 6.52.0         | Outdated |
| my-app  | prod  | 6.52.0          | 6.52.0         | Up-to-date |

2 of 2 stacks checked. 1 outdated.

Out of scope: upgrading a specific stack

This skill identifies outdated stacks. It does not perform the upgrade itself. For actually bumping a package version in a project — editing package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, go.mod, or Pulumi.yaml, running pulumi preview, and reconciling the diff — hand off to the provider-upgrade skill.
