Dependency Upgrade Skill

Systematically upgrade Ruby gem dependencies by researching latest versions, reviewing release notes for breaking changes, updating version constraints, verifying with tests, and confirming codebase alignment.

The goal is a thoughtful upgrade — not blindly bumping versions, but understanding what changed and ensuring the codebase is compatible. This matters because a silent API change can introduce bugs that tests don't catch if the tests don't exercise the affected code path.

Process Overview

  1. Discover current dependencies and their constraints
  2. Research latest versions and release notes (in parallel)
  3. Analyze breaking changes and codebase impact
  4. Upgrade version constraints and install
  5. Verify with the full test suite
  6. Report a summary table with upgrade details

Step 1: Discover Current Dependencies

Read the gemspec and Gemfile to build a complete dependency inventory.
