Is the Bump Dependencies skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from PaulRBerg/agent-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Bump Dependencies SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Bump Dependencies?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Bump Dependencies with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Verdict: Works with setup

Tested: Jul 14, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (SKILL.md not found in repo tree). The test below is what we measured on Jul 14, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

Actually ran the plan-then-write pipeline on a real package.json: correctly flagged an eslint major as review-only and applied the lodash minor while leaving a pinned dependency untouched — but the plan step silently requires `uv` on top of `taze`, undocumented anywhere in the skill, and dies with a bare 'command not found' if it's missing.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Bump Dependencies does

Runs Taze to build a classified update plan (apply/review-major/review/skip-fixed) for npm/pnpm/yarn/bun projects, applies safe ranged updates automatically, and batches major-version decisions for explicit user approval before writing manifests and regenerating the lockfile. Triggers on requests to check outdated packages, bump dependencies, or run Taze.

How to install Bump Dependencies

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.

Commands — how to trigger Bump Dependencies

/bump-deps Taze-powered dependency bumps: structured plan, batch major decisions, never silent.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Check my npm project for outdated packages and safely bump them.
Can you update my pnpm dependencies to their latest safe versions?
Run an outdated-package check on this repo and apply minor updates.
