AC upgrade-deps
Upgrade project dependencies safely — inventories current→target versions from the actual manifest/lockfile, reads the real changelog/release notes for every major bump (a breaking-change claim without a changelog citation is a hypothesis), greps the codebase for each breaking API before declaring it safe, upgrades one major at a time with tests+build quoted green between batches, and reports a per-package table of what changed and what evidence backs "safe". Use this skill whenever the user says "upgrade dependencies", "update packages", "bump <package>", "is it safe to upgrade", "update to the latest", "fix the npm audit", "dependabot PR review", or "/upgrade-deps" — even if they don't explicitly say "dependency skill". Do not use for adding a NEW dependency (that's a design decision) or diagnosing a breakage after an upgrade already happened (use diagnose).

As a process C 63/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, running it twice
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 63/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 30Running it twice. 11 mutating operations with no state check
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web, node) that frontmatter does not declare
- 100Steps. 24 steps
- 100When it triggers. States when to use and when not to
- 100Failures and branches. 1 branches, has a failure section
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1942 tokens
- medium Safety rules and hard prohibitions inside a skill: they belong in the system prompt, here they protect nothing
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
