Skill: Dependency Management

Stay current. Stay secure. Minimize version mismatch.

Version Updates

Semantic Versioning:

  • 1.0.0 → 2.0.0: Breaking change (test, update code)
  • 1.0.0 → 1.1.0: New feature (backward-compatible, usually safe)
  • 1.0.0 → 1.0.1: Bug fix (safe to update)

Security Patch Strategy

# 1. Check for vulnerabilities
npm audit  # or pip check, cargo audit

# 2. Update vulnerable packages
npm update lodash@4.17.21

# 3. Test changes
npm test

# 4. Commit & push
git commit -m "fix(deps): update lodash to patch CVE-2021-23337"

Transitive Dependency Hell

app → requests@2.28.0
app → urllib3@1.26.0
app → certifi@2022.9.24

requests → urllib3@1.25.0  # Different version!

Solution: Lock files (requirements.txt, package-lock.json, Cargo.lock)

Monorepo Dependencies

Shared dependencies (lock once):

root/
  Cargo.lock  # All crates use this
  crates/
    auth/
    api/
    db/

Deprecation Tracking

# Checklist when you deprecate something
- [ ] Announce (email, docs, header warning)
- [ ] Timeline (6 months warning)
- [ ] Alternatives (what should users use?)
- [ ] Test (ensure new way works)
- [ ] Remove (after timeline)

Status: Ready for dependency work
Best for: Version updates, security patches, CVE management

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
