What problem does it solve? Manually auditing npm dependencies across a monorepo is slow and error-prone: you must check registries, read changelogs, hunt for breaking changes, and figure out which files in your codebase are actually affected. This Skill automates that entire audit and produces an actionable markdown report. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Registry & Version Analysis: Queries the npm registry for each dependency, classifies updates as patch/minor/major, and flags deprecated packages with suggested replacements. - Breaking Change & Security Research: Pulls GitHub releases, CHANGELOGs, and migration guides, plus runs npm audit and CVE searches to assess upgrade risk. - Codebase Impact Scan: Greps imports and maps them against breaking changes so reports list only files that actually need modification. - Use Case: Before a major release, run the analysis across all workspaces to get a prioritized report: security vulnerabilities first, deprecated packages next, then safe patch/minor upgrades with migration steps. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to analyze dependencies for a package or workspace, for example: run the dependency analysis on packages/react and generate a report of available updates and breaking changes.
