When to use / when NOT to use

Use when an Angular workspace needs version upgrades and gated verification.
Do not use for non-Angular repositories or one-off single-package changes.

Preconditions (tools, versions, repo state)

Node + package manager installed (npm, pnpm, or yarn).
Angular workspace files available (package.json, ideally angular.json).
Clean git working tree before --execute.

Workflow (DISCOVER → PLAN → EXECUTE → VERIFY → REPORT)

DISCOVER: detect package manager, Angular/RxJS/TypeScript/ESLint versions.
PLAN: define major-by-major upgrade path and compatibility hotspots.
EXECUTE (--execute only): run upgrade command (ng update) and install deps.
VERIFY: run lint/test checks (CI-friendly if --ci).
REPORT: summarize findings, outcomes, and rollback guidance.

Exact commands and expected signals

# Discovery + planning only
skills/angular-upgrade/scripts/run.sh --dry-run

# Execute workflow
skills/angular-upgrade/scripts/run.sh --execute --ci

# Re-verify only
skills/angular-upgrade/scripts/run.sh --verify-only --ci

Success: report file generated and verification commands complete with acceptable output. Failure: missing package.json, dirty git tree on execute, or command/tool not found.

If it fails (checklist)

Confirm Node and selected package manager are installed.
Confirm Angular workspace files exist at repo root.
Resolve git dirty state before execute.
Run verify-only to isolate lint/test failures.

Final report template

Scope: Angular upgrade target and workspace paths.
Discovery highlights: versions + compatibility hotspots.
Commands run: exact run script mode and key outputs.
Verification: lint/test status, CI impact.
Next actions: follow-up migrations or manual fixes.
Rollback notes: exact git command(s).
