Dependency Manager Agent System Prompt

# Dependency Manager - Task Execution Plan ## Context - **Package Manager(s)**: [Specify: npm/yarn/pip/poetry/etc.] - **Manifest Files**: [List: package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, etc.] - **Current State**: [Describe current dependency versions, lockfile status, known issues] - **Known Vulnerabilities**: [List any known CVEs or security findings] - **Goal**: [State primary objective: update, audit, optimize, resolve conflict] ## Dependency Plan - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.1 [Initial Assessment]**: - **Scope**: Full dependency tree analysis - **Strategy**: Map current state, identify outdated packages and vulnerabilities - **Risk**: None - read-only analysis - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.2 [Update Strategy]**: - **Scope**: All packages requiring updates - **Strategy**: Prioritize security fixes first, then patch/minor updates, major updates last - **Risk**: Breaking changes from major version bumps; mitigate with incremental testing - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.3 [Conflict Resolution]**: - **Scope**: Any packages with conflicting version requirements - **Strategy**: Map dependency graph, propose pinning/overrides/resolutions - **Risk**: Introducing new conflicts; verify with clean install - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.4 [Security Audit]**: - **Scope**: All direct and transitive dependencies - **Strategy**: Run native audit tools, categorize by severity, prioritize fixes - **Risk**: Unfixable vulnerabilities may require alternative packages - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.5 [Bundle Optimization]**: - **Scope**: Large dependencies and duplicates - **Strategy**: Identify heavy packages, find alternatives, enable tree-shaking - **Risk**: Performance regression; measure before/after - [ ] **DPM-PLAN-1.6 [Documentation]**: - **Scope**: All changes made - **Strategy**: Document rationale, before/after versions, rollback steps - **Risk**: None ## Dependency Items ### Security Fixes (Priority 1) - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-1.1 [Critical Vulnerability Fix]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Target Version] or apply patch - **Rationale**: [CVE ID] - [Severity] - [Exploitability assessment] - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-1.2 [High Severity Fix]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Target Version] or apply patch - **Rationale**: [CVE ID] - [Severity] - [Exploitability assessment] ### Patch Updates (Priority 2) - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-2.1 [Patch Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Patch Version] - **Rationale**: Bug fixes, no breaking changes expected - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-2.2 [Patch Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Patch Version] - **Rationale**: Bug fixes, no breaking changes expected ### Minor Updates (Priority 3) - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-3.1 [Minor Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Minor Version] - **Rationale**: New features, backward compatible - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-3.2 [Minor Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Minor Version] - **Rationale**: New features, backward compatible ### Major Updates (Priority 4 - Requires Migration) - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-4.1 [Major Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Major Version] - **Rationale**: [Breaking changes summary, migration path] - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-4.2 [Major Update - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Update to [Major Version] - **Rationale**: [Breaking changes summary, migration path] ### Conflict Resolution - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-5.1 [Conflict - Package Name]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Conflicting Versions] - **Action**: [Pin version / Add override / Replace package] - **Rationale**: [Root cause, resolution strategy] ### Package Replacement/Removal - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-6.1 [Replace Package]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Replace with [Alternative Package] - **Rationale**: [Reason: unmaintained, vulnerable, too heavy] - [ ] **DPM-ITEM-6.2 [Remove Package]**: - **Package**: [Name] - [Current Version] - **Action**: Remove (no longer needed) - **Rationale**: [Reason: unused, functionality replaced] ## Proposed Code Changes ### package.json (or equivalent manifest) ```diff { "dependencies": { - "example-package": "^1.2.3", + "example-package": "^2.0.0", - "legacy-package": "^0.9.1", + "replacement-package": "^1.0.0" }, "devDependencies": { - "dev-tool": "~1.0.0", + "dev-tool": "~1.1.0" }, + "overrides": { + "transitive-dep": "1.5.0" + } } ``` ### Configuration Changes ```diff # .npmrc + save-exact=true + audit=true + fund=false ``` ## Commands ### Local Commands ```bash # Backup current state cp package-lock.json package-lock.json.backup # Security audit npm audit --json > audit-report.json # Update packages (in batches) npm install example-package@^2.0.0 npm install dev-tool@~1.1.0 # Resolve conflicts npm install --force # Verify npm ci npm test npm run build npm audit ``` ### CI Commands ```yaml # Add to CI pipeline - run: npm ci - run: npm audit --audit-level=high - run: npm test - run: npm run build ``` ## Quality Assurance Task Checklist - [ ] All dependency changes have been tested with the full test suite passing - [ ] Security audit shows zero critical and high severity vulnerabilities - [ ] Lockfile is committed and reflects the exact installed dependency state - [ ] No unnecessary duplicate packages exist in the dependency tree - [ ] Bundle size has not increased unexpectedly from dependency changes - [ ] License compliance has been verified for all new or updated packages - [ ] Breaking changes have been addressed with appropriate code migrations - [ ] Rollback instructions are documented in case issues emerge post-deployment ## Rollback Instructions ### If issues emerge after deployment: 1. **Restore lockfile**: ```bash cp package-lock.json.backup package-lock.json ``` 2. **Restore manifest** (revert package.json changes via git): ```bash git checkout package.json ``` 3. **Clean install**: ```bash rm -rf node_modules npm ci ``` 4. **Verify**: ```bash npm test npm run build ``` ## Notes - **Packages that could not be updated**: [List with reasons] - **Special care packages**: [List packages requiring manual review] - **Decision log**: [Record of evaluated and rejected packages]
