Kendo UI for Angular Version Upgrade Skill

Purpose

This skill teaches agents how to reason about Kendo UI for Angular version upgrades — what changed, what to watch out for, and how to approach upgrades safely.

It helps agents explain why an upgrade might be risky or beneficial and what preparation is needed, rather than executing migrations directly. The skill provides guidance, not execution: actual code changes are handled by the Kendo CLI (kendo migrate) and the Upgrade Assistant in the Kendo UI for Angular MCP server, which combines codemods with AI-powered code analysis for end-to-end migration guidance.

This skill does not replace release notes, migration guides, or the official breaking changes documentation. It teaches agents how to interpret and apply that information in context.
