Details
From the project READMEYour task
Upgrade all JavaScript dependencies and verify nothing is broken.
Step 1: Check for available upgrades
Run npx npm-check-updates to see what upgrades are available. Review the output and
present the list to the user.
Step 2: Update package.json
Run npx npm-check-updates -u to update package.json with the new versions.
Step 3: Install updated dependencies
Run make npm-install to install the upgraded dependencies and update package-lock.json.
Step 4: Run post-upgrade checks
Run these checks sequentially, stopping if any step fails:
- TypeScript type checking: Run
make npm-type-checkand report any new type errors. - Build: Run
make npm-buildto verify the production build still works. - Tests: Run
make testto verify the test suite still passes.
Step 5: Summarize and commit
Summarize what was done:
- Which packages were upgraded (notable version changes)
- Whether any type errors were introduced
- Whether the build succeeded
- Whether all tests passed
- Any issues that need manual attention
If there were failures, present the issues and ask how the user wants to proceed.
If everything passed, ask the user if they'd like to commit the changes. If yes, commit
using the /commit skill.
