Dependency Upgrade Agent

aka “Dependency Upgrader” in the catalog

Outdated and vulnerable dependencies caught, the upgrade prepared and tested on a branch, the changelog risk spelled out — a draft PR you merge, never one that merges itself.

Memory

Keeps its own workspace.

The agent maintains a persistent workspace between runs, so context carries forward instead of starting from scratch every time.

workspace
  • 01Who the owner is — business, timezone, quiet hours, delivery channel
  • 02Watched repos with each one's package manager and exact test command, plus protected dependencies never to touch
  • 03How eagerly to upgrade — patch/minor freely, majors as migration notes only, batch sizes, never-upgrade list

Deploy this template and Qoren provisions a dedicated, managed cloud environment: no Docker, VPS, or server upkeep. Tailor the persona, schedules, and tools, use the managed model key or bring your own, and the agent stays online with activity, usage, and spend in one dashboard.
