Bump Dependencies

Analyze outdated dependencies and safely upgrade them with breaking change detection.

Workflow

1. Detect package manager based on current directory:

   • If in frontend/ directory or working with TypeScript/JavaScript: use `pnpm` reference
   • If in backend/ directory or working with Python: use `uv` reference

2. List outdated dependencies using the package manager-specific command from the reference

3. Spawn background analysis tasks for EACH notable upgrade:

   CRITICAL: You MUST spawn the package-upgrade-analyzer sub-agent as a background Task for EACH and EVERY notable upgrade. Do NOT take shortcuts.

   Task(
     subagent_type="package-upgrade-analyzer",
     run_in_background=true,
     prompt="Analyze upgrade for {package_name} from {old_version} to {new_version}. GitHub: {repo_url}"
   )

   Notable upgrades include:

   • Major version bumps (e.g., v4 → v5)
   • Packages with known breaking changes
   • Core dependencies (React, Next.js, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, etc.)

   Spawn ALL tasks in a single message with multiple tool calls for maximum parallelism.

4. Wait for all background tasks to complete:

   • Use TaskOutput to retrieve results from each background task
   • Once ALL tasks are complete, ultrathink about the suggestions, migration guides, and release notes
   • Invoke the Plan tool and its sub-agents to strategically address the breaking changes
   • Plan carefully to maintain as much of the original behavior as possible

5. Ask clarifying questions:

   • If the migration path forward is ambiguous, ASK questions
   • Do NOT proceed unless you're sure about the safety of the dependency version bumps

6. Generate PR summary document:

   Write a .claude/scratchpad/PR.md file using the PR template.
   Ensure that all package identifiers are properly wrapped in backticks for readability.

7. Create PR (user confirmation required):

   After generating .claude/scratchpad/PR.md, use AskUserQuestion to confirm:

   AskUserQuestion(
     question="Ready to create the PR? You can edit .claude/scratchpad/PR.md first if needed.",
     header="Create PR?",
     options=[
       { label: "Create PR", description: "Create the PR with current PR.md content" },
       { label: "Let me edit first", description: "I'll edit PR.md and confirm when ready" }
     ]
   )

   Once the user confirms, derive PR_TITLE and create the PR:

   Deriving PR_TITLE:

   1. Scope: Use app for frontend (pnpm), api for backend (uv)
   2. Content (pick first applicable):
      • ≤3 notable packages: List them by name with target major version
        → "deps(app): bump react-query to v5, next to v15"
      • >3 packages with notable ones: Highlight 1-2 notable + count
        → "deps(api): bump sqlalchemy to v2 (+4 packages)"
      • Many minor bumps only: Just the count
        → "deps(app): bump 12 dependencies"
   3. Keep under 72 characters

   PR_TITLE="deps(app): bump react-query to v5, next to v15"
   gh pr create --base dev --head "$(git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD)" --title "$PR_TITLE" --body-file .claude/scratchpad/PR.md

   After successful PR creation:

   # Clean up the scratchpad file
   rm .claude/scratchpad/PR.md

   Return the PR URL to the user.

Important Notes

• Always analyze breaking changes BEFORE upgrading
• Use parallel Task agents for efficiency
• Focus on safety over speed - better to ask than to break production
• Consider rollback strategies for risky upgrades

Additional Instructions

The remaining instructions are behavior overrides by the user.
