Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Analyze and update dependencies with vulnerability scanning. Activate when users mention
"update dependencies", "security audit", "npm audit", "vulnerability scan",
or "dependency updates". Handles dependency analysis and updates. Use when working with windsurf dependency management functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf dependency management", "windsurf management", "windsurf".Key capabilities
- →Analyze dependency trees for security vulnerabilities
- →Generate security audit reports
- →Suggest safe dependency update paths
- →Plan migration paths for major version upgrades
- →Create compatibility matrices for version combinations
How it works
The skill utilizes Cascade to scan the dependency tree against known vulnerabilities and maps out safe upgrade paths based on semantic versioning.
Inputs & outputs
When to use windsurf-dependency-management
- →Perform a security audit of npm dependencies
- →Plan migration paths for breaking version changes
- →Generate a dependency update report
About this skill
Windsurf Dependency Management
Overview
This skill enables comprehensive dependency management within Windsurf projects. Cascade analyzes your dependency tree, identifies security vulnerabilities, suggests safe updates, and helps plan migration paths for major version upgrades.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- Package manager installed (npm, yarn, pnpm, pip)
- Project with package.json, requirements.txt, or equivalent
- Understanding of semantic versioning
- CI/CD pipeline for testing updates (recommended)
Instructions
- Run Initial Audit
- Analyze Update Paths
- Plan Updates
- Apply and Verify
- Establish Monitoring
See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
Output
- Security audit report with findings
- Update plan with prioritized changes
- Compatibility matrix for version combinations
- Migration guides for breaking changes
Error Handling
See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.
Examples
See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
Resources
When not to use it
- →Projects lacking standard package manager files like package.json or requirements.txt
- →Environments without Cascade enabled
Prerequisites
Limitations
- →Requires active Cascade integration within the Windsurf IDE
- →Relies on the presence of standard package manager configuration files
How it compares
This approach automates the generation of migration guides and compatibility matrices rather than requiring manual dependency version checking.
