Drupal Contrib Module Management

Use this skill for any Composer-managed contrib work: updating a module, adding or debugging a patch, unblocking a version constraint, preparing for Drupal 11, or pushing a fix upstream. The core update workflow and the patch rules below apply on every use; task-specific detail lives in references/ (see the table at the end).

Core Update Workflow

Standard Module Update

# Update a single module
composer require drupal/module_name --with-all-dependencies

# Update to specific version
composer require drupal/module_name:^3.0 --with-all-dependencies

# Update multiple modules
composer require drupal/module_a drupal/module_b --with-all-dependencies
