Purpose

Define safe dependency management practices. Platform deps skills reference this for safety rules and workflow structure, then add platform-specific commands and procedures.

Safety rules

• Never auto-update major versions
• Always run tests after updates
• Always build after updates
• Rollback on test or build failure
• Commit lockfile changes atomically with updated packages
• Report breaking change warnings

Workflow structure

Check

1. List outdated packages
2. Categorize by semver: patch, minor, major
3. Report packages with updates available
4. Flag packages with known issues

Audit

1. Run security audit
2. Report vulnerabilities by severity (critical, high, moderate, low)
3. Suggest fixes for critical/high
4. Check for patches available

Update (patch + minor only)

1. Show packages to update
2. Ask for approval
3. Update packages
4. Run tests and build
5. If tests pass, commit changes
6. If tests fail, rollback and report

Major updates (report only)

1. List packages with major updates
2. Show changelogs/breaking changes if available
3. Recommend update order (dependencies first)
4. Do not auto-update — requires manual review

Update priority order

1. Type packages (@types/*, type stubs)
2. Build tools (TypeScript, ESLint, Prettier, SwiftLint)
3. Testing tools (Vitest, Jest, Playwright, Swift Testing)
4. Framework packages (Next.js, Angular, NestJS, SwiftUI dependencies)
5. Application dependencies
