| name | dependency-update |
| description | Use when the user says "bump a version", "upgrade dependencies", "check for newer versions", "add a dependency", or "run audit" — for Java/Maven, TypeScript/npm, or Python/pip projects. Routes to the correct package manager based on project type declared in CLAUDE.md.

Dependency Update
Reads project type, then loads the package-manager-specific workflow.
Step 1 — Detect project type
python3 ~/.claude/skills/project-init/ctx.py
Read PROJECT_TYPE from the output.
Extract: java | ts | python
If type is missing or generic, inspect files:
pom.xml present → treat as javapackage.json present → treat as tspyproject.toml or requirements.txt present → treat as python
Step 2 — Load package manager workflow
| Project type | File to read |
|---|
java | ~/.claude/skills/dependency-update/maven.md |
ts | ~/.claude/skills/dependency-update/npm.md |
python | ~/.claude/skills/dependency-update/pip.md |
Read the file, then execute the workflow it describes.
