Update Dependencies

Update Dependencies

Upgrade project dependencies, researching breaking changes for major version updates.

Optional filter: $ARGUMENTS (e.g., react, Alamofire, serde tokio)

Phase 1: Review Dependencies

Run the $review-dependencies skill to detect package managers and discover available updates. If no updates are available, stop.

Phase 2: User Strategy Selection

Present a summary showing:

• Count and list of major updates (with current → target versions)
• Count of minor updates
• Count of patch updates

Use request_user_input for upgrade strategy (Codex request_user_input allows up to 3 options per question, so the strategies are split across two questions):

Question 1 — Header: "Approach" Options:

• Cautious — Upgrade minor/patch first, then major one-by-one with research
• All at once — Research all major changes, then upgrade everything together
• Major handling — Defer the major decision (Skip-major or Interactive)

When a major upgrade would force a migration that is costly to reverse, present a Get a second opinion option in place of All at once, keeping Question 1 at three options and leaving Major handling in place so Question 2 stays reachable. It runs the $consult-claude skill for which strategy the breaking changes warrant. Then resolve the strategy with that answer in hand, re-asking when the choice stays the user's. A freeform answer asking to upgrade everything together selects the All-at-once strategy.

If the user picks Major handling, ask a follow-up:

Question 2 — Header: "Major handling" Options:

• Skip major — Only upgrade minor and patch versions
• Interactive — Ask for each major update individually
• Cancel — Cancel and return to the previous step

Phase 3: Research Breaking Changes

For each package with a major version update:
