> The skill is based on `taze` (latest README on GitHub) as of 2026-02-24.

`taze` is a lightweight CLI for upgrading dependencies in JavaScript/TypeScript projects and monorepos. It focuses on safe-by-default version bumps, powerful filtering, and configuration via flags or `taze.config.(js|ts)` so agents can orchestrate dependency maintenance workflows.

This skill is written for agents that:

- Need to review or perform dependency upgrades using `taze`
- Work in monorepos and must keep workspace packages in sync
- Must follow safety policies around tests, lint/typecheck, and upgrade strategy
