Description
Production-grade guide for safely upgrading dependencies, migrating through breaking changes, and maintaining healthy dependency trees. Covers automated upgrade tooling (npm-check-updates, taze, Renovate Bot), major framework migration guides (React 18→19, Next.js 14→15, Tailwind v3→v4), codemod automation (jscodeshift, ts-morph), vulnerability remediation (npm audit, pnpm audit), lockfile hygiene, monorepo alignment (pnpm catalogs), and breaking change detection workflows.
Trigger Conditions
Activate this skill when:
- Upgrading major versions of frameworks (React, Next.js, Tailwind, etc.).
- Running security audits and remediating vulnerabilities.
- Setting up automated dependency update bots (Renovate, Dependabot).
- Writing or running codemods for API migration.
- Cleaning up dependency trees and removing unused packages.
- Aligning dependency versions across monorepo packages.
1. Upgrade Strategy Matrix
| Upgrade Type | Risk Level | Strategy | Tools |
|---|
| Patch (1.0.x) | 🟢 Low | Auto-merge after tests pass | Renovate, Dependabot |
| Minor (1.x.0) | 🟡 Medium | Auto-merge with manual review | Renovate + test suite |
| Major (x.0.0) | 🔴 High | Manual review, migration guide, branch | Manual + codemods |
| Security (any) | 🔴 Critical | Immediate upgrade, hotfix | npm audit fix, manual |
2. Pre-Upgrade Checklist
- [ ] Run `pnpm audit` / `npm audit` to identify vulnerabilities
- [ ] Check changelog/migration guide for the target version
- [ ] Ensure test suite is passing on current version (baseline)
- [ ] Create a dedicated branch for the upgrade
- [ ] Check peer dependency compatibility
- [ ] Review breaking changes list
- [ ] Identify files that need codemod transformation
- [ ] Back up lockfile before changes
3. Automated Upgrade Tooling
Checking for Updates
# Using taze (recommended — supports monorepos)
npx taze major # Show available major upgrades
npx taze minor -w # Auto-write minor updates to package.json
npx taze -r # Recursive (monorepo)
# Using npm-check-updates
npx ncu # Show available updates
npx ncu -u # Auto-write updates to package.json
npx ncu --target minor # Only show minor updates
Renovate Bot Configuration
// renovate.json

4. Major Framework Migration Guides
React 18 → 19
// Key breaking changes:
// 1. forwardRef no longer needed (ref is a regular prop)
// ❌ Before (React 19)
const Input = forwardRef<HTMLInputElement, Props>((props, ref) => (
<input ref={ref} {...props} />
));
// ✅ After (React 19)
function Input({ ref, ...props }: Props & { ref?: React.Ref<HTMLInputElement> }) {
return <input ref={ref} {...props} />;
}
// 2. useActionState replaces useFormState
// ❌ Before: import { useFormState } from 'react-dom'
// ✅ After: import { useActionState } from 'react'
// 3. use() hook for promises and context
// ✅ New: const data = use(fetchPromise);
// ✅ New: const theme = use(ThemeContext);
Next.js 14 → 15
// Key changes:
// 1. params/searchParams are now async in page/layout/route
// ❌ Before: export default function Page({ params }: { params: { id: string } })
// ✅ After: export default async function Page({ params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }) {
// const { id } = await params;
// 2. Caching: fetch() no longer cached by default
// ❌ Before: fetch() was cached by default
// ✅ After: fetch(url, { cache: 'force-cache' }) for explicit caching
// 3. Route handlers: GET is no longer cached by default
// Add: export const dynamic = 'force-static' if you want caching
Tailwind CSS v4 → v4
/* Key changes: */
/* 1. Configuration moves from JS to CSS */
/* ❌ Before: tailwind.config.js with theme.extend */
/* ✅ After: @theme directive in CSS */
@import 'tailwindcss';
@theme {
--color-primary: oklch(0.6 0.2 260);
--font-sans: 'Inter', sans-serif;
--breakpoint-sm: 40rem;
}
/* 2. No more @tailwind directives */
/* ❌ Before: @tailwind base; @tailwind components; @tailwind utilities; */
/* ✅ After: @import 'tailwindcss'; */
/* 3. Renamed utilities */
/* ❌ Before: bg-opacity-50 */
/* ✅ After: bg-black/50 */
5. Codemod Automation (jscodeshift)
// codemods/remove-forward-ref.ts
import type { API, FileInfo } from 'jscodeshift';
export default function removeForwardRef(fileInfo: FileInfo, api: API) {
const j = api.jscodeshift;
const root = j(fileInfo.source);
// Find all forwardRef calls and transform them
root.find(j.CallExpression, {
callee: { name: 'forwardRef' },
}).forEach((path) => {
// Extract the inner component function
const args = path.node.arguments;
if (args.length > 0 && (args[0].type === 'ArrowFunctionExpression' || args[0].type === 'FunctionExpression')) {
// Replace forwardRef(...) with the inner function
j(path).replaceWith(args[0]);
}
});
// Remove forwardRef import
root.find(j.ImportSpecifier, { imported: { name: 'forwardRef' } }).remove();
return root.toSource({ quote: 'single' });
}
// Run: npx jscodeshift -t codemods/remove-forward-ref.ts src/ --extensions=tsx,ts
6. Vulnerability Remediation
# Audit current state
pnpm audit # Show vulnerabilities
pnpm audit --fix # Auto-fix where possible
# For stubborn transitive dependencies
pnpm patch <package>@<version> # Create a local patch
# or
pnpm overrides # Force specific version in package.json
# package.json — Force resolution
{
"pnpm": {
"overrides": {
"vulnerable-package": ">=2.0.0"
}
}
}
7. Dependency Cleanup
# Find unused dependencies
npx depcheck # Detect unused deps
npx depcheck --ignores="@types/*" # Ignore type packages
# Find duplicate packages
pnpm dedupe # Deduplicate lockfile
pnpm why <package> # See why a package is installed
# Monorepo: Align versions with pnpm catalogs
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
catalog:
react: "^19.0.0"
typescript: "^5.7.0"
"@tanstack/react-query": "^5.60.0"
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
| Anti-Pattern | Problem | Correct Approach |
|---|
| Upgrading all deps at once | Hard to identify breaking changes | Upgrade one major dep at a time |
| Ignoring peer dependency warnings | Runtime errors, subtle bugs | Resolve all peer dep conflicts |
| No test suite before upgrading | Can't verify nothing broke | Ensure tests pass before AND after |
npm audit fix --force blindly | Can introduce breaking changes | Review each fix manually for major bumps |
| Skipping changelogs | Missing breaking changes | Always read CHANGELOG/migration guide |
| No lockfile in version control | Non-reproducible builds | Always commit pnpm-lock.yaml |
Sovereign Execution, Token Efficiency & Invariants
| Dimension | Sovereign Mandate & Deterministic Contract |
|---|
| Frontier Model Cascade | Medium / High (GPT-5.6 Sol Medium, Gemini 4 Argon, Claude Sonnet 5.5 High, Grok 4.7 High Fast) |
| Availability Fallback | Gemini 4 Argon/Pro -> Gemini 3.8 Flash; Claude Opus 5.5 -> Claude Opus 4.6 (Zero unhandled missing-model errors) |
| KV-Cache & Token Protocol | Pin static instructions & schemas at prompt prefix (kv-cache-prefix-optimizer); pass surgical CONTEXT_MAP.md slices (<250 tokens/call) during Swarm Fan-Out |
| SaaT CLI & MCP Dispatch | CLI: vibes skill exec dependency-upgrade-migrator <audit|eval|verify|generate|blueprint> / MCP: vibes_skill_dispatch, vibes_ast_query, vibes_compile_cache, vibes_optimize_budget, vibes_verify_gate |
| NFR & Anti-Slop Invariants | P99 API Gateway Latency < 85ms, OpenAPI 3.1 / TypeSpec strict schema parity, RFC 9457 Problem Details error contracts, Idempotency-Key enforcement; 100% complete zero-placeholder output verified via node scripts/check-anti-slop.js --strict |

Deskripsi
Panduan tingkat produksi untuk upgrade dependensi yang aman, migrasi melalui breaking change, dan pemeliharaan dependency tree yang sehat. Mencakup tooling upgrade otomatis (taze, Renovate Bot), panduan migrasi framework utama (React 18→19, Next.js 14→15, Tailwind v3→v4), otomasi codemod (jscodeshift, ts-morph), remediasi kerentanan (pnpm audit), kebersihan lockfile, dan penyelarasan dependensi monorepo (pnpm catalogs).
Kondisi Pemicu
Aktifkan skill ini ketika:
- Mengupgrade versi mayor framework (React, Next.js, Tailwind, dll).
- Menjalankan audit keamanan dan memperbaiki kerentanan paket.
- Menyiapkan bot update dependensi otomatis (Renovate, Dependabot).
- Menulis atau menjalankan codemod untuk refaktor API usang secara massal.
- Membersihkan dependency tree dan menghapus paket yang tidak lagi terpakai.
Matriks Strategi Upgrade Dependensi
| Tipe Upgrade | Tingkat Risiko | Strategi Penanganan | Tooling yang Dianjurkan |
|---|
| Patch (1.0.x) | 🟢 Rendah | Auto-merge setelah seluruh test suite lulus | Renovate, Dependabot |
| Minor (1.x.0) | 🟡 Sedang | Auto-merge dengan review PR singkat | Renovate + CI pipeline test |
| Mayor (x.0.0) | 🔴 Tinggi | Review manual, pelajari changelog, branch terpisah | Manual + Codemod AST |
| Keamanan (CVE) | 🔴 Kritis | Upgrade darurat dan rilis hotfix langsung | pnpm audit --fix / manual patch |
Resep & Panduan Migrasi Kunci
1. Tooling Pemindaian Upgrade (taze)
# Tampilkan upgrade versi mayor yang tersedia di workspace
npx taze major
# Tulis otomatis pembaruan minor ke package.json
npx taze minor -w
# Jalankan pemindaian secara rekursif di seluruh paket monorepo
npx taze -r
2. Konfigurasi Renovate Bot Otomatis (renovate.json)
{
"$schema": "https://docs.renovatebot.com/renovate-schema.json",
"extends": ["config:best-practices"],
"labels": ["dependencies"],
"packageRules": [
{
"matchUpdateTypes": ["patch"],
"automerge": true,
"automergeType": "pr"
},
{
"matchUpdateTypes": ["minor"],
"automerge": true,
"requiredStatusChecks": ["ci/test", "ci/build"]
},
{
"matchUpdateTypes": ["major"],
"automerge": false,
"labels": ["major-upgrade", "manual-review"]
}
]
}
3. Ringkasan Migrasi Framework Utama (2026 Standard)
- React 18 ke 19:
forwardRef tidak lagi dibutuhkan (prop ref diteruskan seperti prop biasa). useActionState menggantikan useFormState. Hook use() dapat membaca promise dan React Context secara langsung.
- Next.js 14 ke 15: Parameter
params dan searchParams pada page/layout/route kini bersifat asinkron (Promise<{ id: string }>). Default fetch() tidak lagi di-cache secara otomatis (cache: 'force-cache' harus dideklarasikan secara eksplisit jika diinginkan).
- Tailwind CSS v3 ke v4: Konfigurasi berpindah dari
tailwind.config.js ke CSS native melalui direktif @theme. Direktif lama @tailwind base; diganti dengan @import 'tailwindcss';.
4. Otomasi Codemod Menghapus forwardRef Menggunakan jscodeshift
// codemods/hapus-forward-ref.ts
import type { API, FileInfo } from 'jscodeshift';
export default function transform(fileInfo: FileInfo, api: API) {
const j = api.jscodeshift;
const root = j(fileInfo.source);
root.find(j.CallExpression, {
callee: { name: 'forwardRef' },
}).forEach((path) => {
const args = path.node.arguments;
if (args.length > 0) {
j(path).replaceWith(args[0]);
}
});
root.find(j.ImportSpecifier, { imported: { name: 'forwardRef' } }).remove();
return root.toSource({ quote: 'single' });
}
Jebakan Umum yang Wajib Dihindari
- Mengupgrade Seluruh Dependensi Sekaligus: Sulit melacak sumber error saat build rusak. Upgrade dependensi mayor satu per satu.
- Mengabaikan Peringatan Peer Dependencies: Menimbulkan konflik runtime tersembunyi.
- Menjalankan
npm audit fix --force Secara Membabi Buta: Dapat memaksa install versi mayor yang merusak kode aplikasi.
