SpecSwarm Upgrade Workflow

Provides natural language access to /specswarm:upgrade command.

When to Invoke

Trigger this skill when the user mentions:

Upgrading or updating dependencies/packages
Migrating to new frameworks or versions
Modernizing technology stacks
Bumping version numbers

Examples:

"Upgrade React to version 19"
"Update all dependencies"
"Migrate from Webpack to Vite"
"Modernize the build system"
"Bump Node to version 20"

Instructions

Confidence-Based Execution:

Detect that user mentioned upgrading/updating software
Extract what to upgrade from their message
Assess confidence and execute accordingly:

High Confidence (95%+) - Auto-execute immediately:
- Clear upgrade requests: "Upgrade React to version 19", "Update all dependencies", "Migrate from Webpack to Vite"
- Action: Immediately run /specswarm:upgrade "upgrade description"
- Show brief notification: "🎯 Running /specswarm:upgrade... (press Ctrl+C within 3s to cancel)"
Medium Confidence (70-94%) - Ask for confirmation:
- Less specific: "Update the packages", "Modernize the stack"
- Action: Use AskUserQuestion tool with two options:
  - Option 1 (label: "Run /specswarm:upgrade"): Use SpecSwarm's upgrade workflow with compatibility analysis
  - Option 2 (label: "Process normally"): Handle as regular Claude Code request
Low Confidence (<70%) - Always ask:
- Vague: "Make it better", "Use newer stuff"
- Action: Use AskUserQuestion as above
If user cancels (Ctrl+C) or selects Option 2, process normally without SpecSwarm
After command completes, STOP - do not continue with ship/merge

What the Upgrade Command Does

/specswarm:upgrade runs complete workflow:

Analyzes breaking changes and compatibility
Creates comprehensive upgrade plan
Generates migration tasks
Updates dependencies and code
Runs tests to verify compatibility
Documents upgrade process

Stops after upgrade is complete - does NOT merge/ship/deploy.

Semantic Understanding

This skill should trigger not just on exact keywords, but semantic equivalents:

Upgrade equivalents: upgrade, update, migrate, modernize, bump, move to, switch to, adopt Target terms: dependency, package, framework, library, version, technology stack
