Read the changelogs before you upgrade dependencies

Breaking changes, security fixes and upgrade steps for each outdated package, from its release notes.

  • You start it: When you start it
Use in CuiarRun from your AI agent

What it does

The task

Read the dependency file file url on GitHub and the open dependency update pull requests in the same repository. For each package with a newer version, open its changelog or release notes on GitHub, npm or PyPI. List the breaking changes, the security fixes and the migration steps between my version and the newest version. Rate each upgrade as safe, needs code changes or risky. Write a table, the risky ones first, with links to the release notes.

  • It works in GitHub, npm and PyPI, in the workspace you pick, and signs in with passwords from your Cuiar vault.
  • It runs once, when you start it.

Run it from your AI agent

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients reach Cuiar at https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp. Add the server one time, then ask for the task in plain words, or call run_task yourself.

1. Add Cuiar to Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http cuiar https://mcp.cuiar.com/mcp

2. Ask your agent

Use the Cuiar tool run_task to run my "Read the changelogs before you upgrade dependencies" template with file url = https://github.com/brightleaf/web/blob/main/package.json.

Setup for other agents: AI agents.
