About this capability

Check if an existing project dependency can and should be updated to a more recent version.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by whoschek/bzfs in .agents/skills/bzfs-bump-dependency-versions/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

For each of the following components check if the version can and should be updated to a more recent version:

  • Components with a version number in pyproject.toml
  • uv via tools/install_uv.sh
  • shellcheck via tools/install_shellcheck.py
  • prettier via tools/prettier
  • Components in .pre-commit-config.yaml except if they use language: unsupported
  • Lima in .github/workflows/python-app.yml and .github/actions/test-almalinux-lima/action.yml
  • FreeBSD release and vmactions/freebsd-vm in .github/workflows/python-app.yml
  • zizmor in .github/workflows/python-app.yml
  • pip-audit in .github/workflows/python-app.yml
  • ZFS in bzfs_testbed/lima_vm.sh

Rules:

  • Only consider stable releases. Ignore release candidates, prereleases, alpha and beta releases.
  • Respect the cooldown period defined in preinstall_dev.sh. A cooldown period of N days implies that a newer version must be at least N days old (the release is well known at this point), AND no higher version was released in the N days after that (the release had no teething issues requiring an emergency patch release).
  • Check if the version is compatible.
  • Critical: If a relevant new version passes the filters above, evaluate its supply chain risk (including transitive dependency updates). Never blindly update just because you can.
  • Keep proposed changes as simple as possible. No unnecessary fluff. KISS.
