What it does

Dependency Upgrade is an agent skill from secondsky/sap-skills. Secure dependency upgrades with supply chain protection, cooldowns, and staged rollout. Use when upgrading deps, configuring security policies, or preventing supply chain attacks.

Its SKILL.md is about 4.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 21 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/compatibility-matrix.md`, `references/cooldown-config-guide.md` and `references/package-manager-security.md`).

It sits in Security, covering Supply chain security and Dependency management. The repository describes itself as: Production-ready plugins for SAP development with AI coding assistants — BTP, CAP, Fiori, ABAP, HANA, Analytics Cloud, Datasphere, and more. The licence is GPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Configuring security policies
  • Preventing supply chain attacks

Example prompts

  • “/dependency-upgrade”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Cooldown before installing — Wait 7 days for new package versions to be vetted by the community
  2. Block post-install scripts — Prevent arbitrary code execution during npm install
  3. Freeze lockfiles in CI — Use deterministic installs (npm ci, --frozen-lockfile)
  4. Validate lockfile integrity — Use lockfile-lint to detect injection
  5. Audit before trusting — Use npq or Socket CLI to check packages before installing
  6. Upgrade incrementally — One major version at a time with testing between each
  7. Never blindly upgrade — Avoid npm update or npm-check-updates -u without review
  8. Scan before and after — Use socket scan to detect supply chain issues beyond CVEs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 652a861. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm
    • bun
    • git
    • yarn
    • bunx
    • npm-check-updates
    • pnpm
    • deno

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, git, yarn, bunx and pnpm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Dependency Upgrade loads about 4.8k tokens when it runs, and up to ~17k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.8k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~17k

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.

Dependency Upgrade

  • sap-hana-cli: For dependency-aware database tooling workflows and upgrade guidance
  • sap-cap-capire: For CAP dependency-safe runtime and service configuration guidance
  • sap-fiori-tools: For secure UI5/Fiori dependency strategy when tooling touches frontend packages

Manage dependency upgrades with supply chain security, compatibility analysis, staged rollout, and comprehensive testing across all major package managers.

When to Use This Skill

  • Upgrading major framework or library versions
  • Configuring supply chain attack prevention (cooldown, script blocking, lockfile hardening)
  • Setting up secure package manager configuration
  • Resolving dependency conflicts or peer dependency issues
  • Planning incremental upgrade paths with testing
  • Automating dependency updates with Renovate, Dependabot, or Snyk
  • Auditing dependencies for vulnerabilities
  • Setting up CI/CD dependency security workflows

Two Modes of Operation

Interactive — Walk through setup questions to generate tailored config. Use for fresh setup.

Default — Apply recommended defaults immediately: 7-day cooldown, block all scripts, frozen-lockfile, lockfile-lint, Dependabot with cooldown. Customization optional.

Interactive Setup Flow

When the user wants tailored configuration, walk through these decisions. Skip this section entirely if using default mode.

Tier 1: Required Decisions

Always ask these 3 questions before generating any config:

1. Package Manager

"Which package manager does this project use?"

AnswerGenerates
npm.npmrc
Bunbunfig.toml
pnpmpnpm-workspace.yaml
Yarn.yarnrc.yml
Denodeno.json config

2. Cooldown Period

"How many days should newly published packages age before install? This prevents supply chain attacks where malicious packages are discovered and unpublished within days."

OptionDaysUse Case
Aggressive3Catches most typosquatting
Recommended7Good balance for most projects
Conservative14Critical/production systems
Paranoid21Matches Snyk's built-in default
CustomNUser specifies

3. Post-Install Script Policy

"How should lifecycle scripts (postinstall, preinstall) be handled? These are the #1 attack vector for supply chain attacks."

OptionBehavior
Block all (recommended)--ignore-scripts + allow-git=none
AllowlistBlock by default, allow specific trusted packages
Review onlyWarn but don't block
Tier 2: Security Tooling (Offer as Batch)

"Which of these security features would you like to configure? Select any that apply."

4. CI/CD Automation Tool

AnswerGenerates
Dependabot.github/dependabot.yml with cooldown
Renovaterenovate.json with minimumReleaseAge
SnykNo config needed (21-day cooldown built-in)
NoneSkip

5. Automerge Policy

OptionBehavior
NoneAll updates require manual review
Minor+Patch onlyAuto-merge safe updates, review majors
All with approvalAuto-merge after team approval

6. Update Schedule

OptionConfig Value
Daily"daily"
Weekly (default)"weekly"
Biweekly"biweekly"
Monthly"monthly"

7. Install-Time Security Tooling

"Which security tools should protect dependency installation?"

OptionFree?What It Does
socket npm wrapperYes (beta)Wraps npm/npx, blocks malicious packages before install. Run socket wrapper on to enable system-wide.
npqYesPre-install auditor (CVE, typosquat, age, provenance checks)
Socket Firewall (sfw)NoReal-time deep analysis, blocks malicious packages
socket npm + npqYesBoth free tools combined
None—Skip

Load references/socket-cli-guide.md for full Socket CLI setup including authentication and free vs authenticated features.

8. Lockfile Validation

OptionBehavior
Yes (recommended)Adds lockfile-lint + CI script
NoSkip
Tier 3: Advanced Options (Only If User Opts In)

"Would you like to configure any advanced options?"

9. Dev Containers — Generate hardened .devcontainer/devcontainer.json (Yes/No)

10. Secrets Manager — 1Password CLI / Infisical / None

11. pnpm Trust Policy — Enable trustPolicy: no-downgrade (pnpm 10.21+ only, Yes/No)

12. Cooldown Exclusions — Package names that bypass cooldown (e.g., @types/react, typescript, esbuild)

Security-First Upgrade Principles

  1. Cooldown before installing — Wait 7 days for new package versions to be vetted by the community
  2. Block post-install scripts — Prevent arbitrary code execution during npm install
  3. Freeze lockfiles in CI — Use deterministic installs (npm ci, --frozen-lockfile)
  4. Validate lockfile integrity — Use lockfile-lint to detect injection
  5. Audit before trusting — Use npq or Socket CLI to check packages before installing
  6. Upgrade incrementally — One major version at a time with testing between each
  7. Never blindly upgrade — Avoid npm update or npm-check-updates -u without review
  8. Scan before and after — Use socket scan to detect supply chain issues beyond CVEs

Cooldown Period: Prevent Supply Chain Attacks

Newly published packages may contain malicious code discovered within hours. Configure a cooldown period to delay installation.

Quick Setup

npm (.npmrc):

ini
min-release-age=7

Bun (bunfig.toml):

toml
[install]
minimumReleaseAge = 604800  # 7 days in seconds
minimumReleaseAgeExcludes = ["@types/bun", "typescript"]

pnpm (pnpm-workspace.yaml):

yaml
minimumReleaseAge: 10080  # 7 days in minutes
minimumReleaseAgeExclude:
  - '@types/react'
  - typescript

Yarn (.yarnrc.yml):

yaml
npmMinimalAgeGate: "7d"
npmPreapprovedPackages:
  - "@types/react"
  - "typescript"

Load references/cooldown-config-guide.md for detailed per-PM configuration, CI tool integration, and exclusion patterns.

Use templates/<pm>-security.tmpl for copy-paste ready config files.

Disable Post-Install Scripts

Post-install scripts are the most common supply chain attack vector (Shai-Hulud, Nx, event-stream incidents).

Quick Setup

npm:

bash
npm config set ignore-scripts true
npm config set allow-git none

Bun: Disabled by default. Allow specific packages in package.json:

json
{ "trustedDependencies": ["esbuild", "sharp"] }

pnpm (10.0+): Disabled by default. Allow specific packages in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

yaml
allowBuilds:
  esbuild: true
strictDepBuilds: true  # Hard error on unreviewed scripts

Load references/package-manager-security.md for full per-PM hardening including pnpm trustPolicy, blockExoticSubdeps, and @lavamoat/allow-scripts.

Deterministic & Frozen Installs

Always use frozen install commands in CI to ensure reproducible builds:

Package ManagerCommandWhat It Does
npmnpm ciDeletes node_modules, installs exact lockfile versions
Bunbun install --frozen-lockfileFails if lockfile is out of sync
pnpmpnpm install --frozen-lockfileFails if lockfile is out of sync
Yarnyarn install --immutable --immutable-cacheValidates lockfile and cache
Denodeno install --frozenFrozen installation

Commit all lockfiles to version control: package-lock.json, bun.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, yarn.lock, deno.lock.

Lockfile Validation

Install and configure lockfile-lint to detect lockfile injection attacks:

bash
npm install --save-dev lockfile-lint
json
{
  "scripts": {
    "lint:lockfile": "lockfile-lint --path package-lock.json --type npm --allowed-hosts npm --validate-https",
    "preinstall": "npm run lint:lockfile"
  }
}

Note: lockfile-lint does not currently support Bun's bun.lock / bun.lockb formats.

Pre-Install Security Auditing

npq — Pre-Install Auditor
bash
npm install -g npq
npq install <package>          # Audit before installing
npq install <package> --dry-run # Audit without installing

# Shell alias for seamless use
alias npm='npq-hero'

# Use with other PMs
NPQ_PKG_MGR=pnpm npq install <package>
NPQ_PKG_MGR=bun npq install <package>
Show full SKILL.md (574 more words)Show less
Socket Firewall (sfw) — Real-Time Blocker
bash
npm install -g sfw
sfw npm install <package>      # Blocks malicious packages
sfw pnpm add <package>
sfw yarn add <package>

Load references/supply-chain-security.md for full comparison of npq vs sfw and what each validates.

Socket CLI Integration

Socket CLI provides proactive supply chain security beyond basic vulnerability scanning — covering malware detection, typosquatting, protestware, install script risks, and license compliance.

Proactive Upgrade Workflow
1. PRE-UPGRADE:   socket scan create --report          → establish baseline
2. EVALUATE:      socket package score npm <pkg>@<ver>  → assess target package safety
3. SAFE INSTALL:  socket npm install <pkg>              → block malicious packages
4. POST-UPGRADE:  socket scan create --report          → verify no new alerts
5. DIFF:          socket scan diff <before> <after>     → see exactly what changed
6. FIX:           socket fix --minimum-release-age 7d   → auto-fix any new CVEs
7. OPTIMIZE:      socket optimize                       → apply security overrides
Quick Reference
bash
# Install
npm install -g socket

# Authenticate (required for scans, fixes, package scores)
socket login

# Check a package before upgrading
socket package score npm <package>

# Scan your whole project
socket scan create --report

# Auto-fix CVEs (complements Dependabot/Renovate)
socket fix --minimum-release-age 7d

# Gate CI on security policy
socket ci

# Safe npm wrapper (free, no auth needed)
socket wrapper on

Load references/socket-cli-guide.md for comprehensive command reference, CI workflow templates, alert categories, and free vs authenticated feature matrix.

Dependency Analysis

bash
# Audit for vulnerabilities
bun audit       # Bun
npm audit       # npm
yarn audit      # Yarn

# Socket: deep security assessment (CVEs + supply chain + license)
socket package score npm <package>
socket scan create --report

# Check for outdated packages
bun outdated
npm outdated

# Interactive upgrade (safe — review each)
bunx npm-check-updates --interactive

# Analyze dependency tree
npm ls <package-name>
yarn why <package-name>

Staged Upgrade Strategy

Upgrade one dependency at a time with testing between each:

bash
# 1. Create feature branch
git checkout -b upgrade/<package>-<version>

# 2. (Optional) Baseline scan — capture current state
socket scan create --report

# 3. Evaluate target package before upgrading
socket package score npm <package>@<version>

# 4. Upgrade single package
bun add <package>@<version>

# 5. Test immediately
bun test && bunx tsc --noEmit && bun run build

# 6. (Optional) Post-upgrade scan — verify no new alerts
socket scan create --report

# 7. Commit and continue
git add -A && git commit -m "chore: upgrade <package> to <version>"

Load references/staged-upgrades.md for codemod automation, custom migration scripts, and peer dependency handling.

Load references/compatibility-matrix.md for version compatibility tables (React 18/19, Next.js 13-15, TypeScript, Tailwind 3/4).

Automated Updates with Cooldown

Configure CI/CD tools to respect cooldown periods:

Dependabot (.github/dependabot.yml)
yaml
version: 2
updates:
  - package-ecosystem: "npm"
    directory: "/"
    schedule:
      interval: "weekly"
    cooldown:
      default-days: 7
Renovate (renovate.json)
json
{
  "extends": ["config:base"],
  "minimumReleaseAge": "7 days",
  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["minor", "patch"],
      "automerge": true
    },
    {
      "matchUpdateTypes": ["major"],
      "automerge": false,
      "minimumReleaseAge": "14 days"
    }
  ]
}
Snyk

Snyk includes a built-in 21-day cooldown for upgrade PRs. No configuration needed.

Socket Fix (complements Dependabot/Renovate)

Socket Fix automatically resolves CVEs with intelligent upgrade planning. Runs alongside other automation tools — it focuses on CVE remediation specifically:

bash
# Fix all fixable CVEs with cooldown alignment
socket fix --minimum-release-age 7d

# Conservative: no major version bumps
socket fix --minimum-release-age 7d --no-major-updates

# Target specific CVEs
socket fix --id GHSA-hhq3-ff78-jv3g --minimum-release-age 7d

# Preview without applying
socket fix --no-apply-fixes --minimum-release-age 7d

For CI autopilot mode (auto-creates and auto-merges fix PRs), use templates/socket-fix-ci.tmpl.

Load references/socket-cli-guide.md for full socket fix options including --autopilot, --range-style, and --pr-limit.

Use templates/dependabot-security.tmpl or templates/renovate-security.tmpl for complete config files.

Publishing Security

For package maintainers:

bash
# Enable 2FA
npm profile enable-2fa auth-and-writes

# Publish with provenance (cryptographic build proof)
npm publish --provenance

# Trusted publishing via OIDC (eliminates long-lived tokens)
# Configure on npmjs.com, then:
# In GitHub Actions: permissions: id-token: write

Load references/supply-chain-security.md for full publishing security guide including OIDC setup and dependency tree reduction.

Dev Environment Hardening

Isolate dependency execution from the host system:

  • Dev containers — limit blast radius of malicious packages
  • Secrets management — use 1Password CLI or Infisical instead of plaintext .env files
  • Dependency tree reduction — replace common packages with native JS

Use templates/devcontainer-security.tmpl for a hardened dev container config.

Load references/secrets-and-containers.md for dev container setup, secrets management, and dependency reduction patterns.

Testing Strategy

Run tests at every level after each upgrade:

bash
# 1. Static analysis (fastest)
bunx tsc --noEmit && bun run lint

# 2. Unit tests
bun test

# 3. Build check
bun run build

# 4. Integration / E2E (after major upgrades)
bun run test:e2e

Load references/testing-strategy.md for full testing pyramid, CI integration, and bundle analysis.

Rollback Plan

bash
#!/bin/bash
git stash
git checkout -b upgrade/<package>

bun add <package>@latest

if bun test && bun run build; then
  git add package.json bun.lock
  git commit -m "chore: upgrade <package>"
else
  echo "Upgrade failed, rolling back"
  git checkout main
  git branch -D upgrade/<package>
  bun install
fi

- [ ] Update peer dependencies
- [ ] Fix TypeScript errors
- [ ] Run test suite after each upgrade
- [ ] Check bundle size impact

Post-Upgrade:
- [ ] Post-upgrade scan: `socket scan diff` to verify no new alerts (if Socket available)

Common Pitfalls

  • Upgrading all dependencies at once (use incremental upgrades)
  • Blindly running npm update or npm-check-updates -u without review
  • Not testing after each individual upgrade
  • Ignoring peer dependency warnings
  • Forgetting to update or commit the lock file
  • Not reading breaking change notes in changelogs
  • Skipping major versions instead of stepping through them
  • Not having a rollback plan
  • Trusting npmjs.org displayed source code (can differ from actual tarball)
  • Leaving post-install scripts enabled (most common attack vector)
  • Not configuring a cooldown period for new package versions
