What it does

Upgrade Packages is an agent skill from MelbourneDeveloper/dart_node. Upgrade all dependencies/packages to their latest versions for the detected language(s). Use when the user says "upgrade packages", "update dependencies", "bump versions", "update packages", or "upgrade deps".

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Mobile, covering Cross-platform mobile apps. It works with Gradle, npm, Java and Python. The repository describes itself as: Write your entire stack in Dart: React web apps, React Native mobile apps with Expo, and Node.js Express backends.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says upgrade packages
  • Update dependencies
  • Update packages

Example prompts

  • “upgrade packages”
  • “update dependencies”
  • “bump versions”
  • “/upgrade-packages”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Detect language and package manager
  2. List outdated packages
  3. Read the official upgrade docs
  4. Upgrade packages
  5. Verify the upgrade
  6. Report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5587886. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • dotnet
    • cargo
    • pip
    • go
    • composer
    • npm
    • dart
    • bundle
    • mvn
    • yarn
    • pnpm
    • uv

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • learn.microsoft.com
    • doc.rust-lang.org
    • docs.npmjs.com
    • yarnpkg.com
    • pnpm.io
    • pip.pypa.io
    • docs.astral.sh
    • python-poetry.org
    • dart.dev
    • go.dev
    • bundler.io
    • getcomposer.org
    • docs.gradle.org
    • mojohaus.org
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Upgrade Packages loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 771 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 771 words (~2,197 tokens).

“Upgrade all project dependencies to their latest compatible (or latest major, if --major) versions.”
