Get the latest published\nversions with <code>npm view &lt;pkg&gt; version</code>.</p>\n<h2>Step 2: Understand the versioning model</h2>\n<p><code>@pracht/core</code>, <code>@pracht/capabilities</code> and <code>@pracht/vite-plugin</code> always\nrelease together at one version (a Changesets <code>fixed</code> group): upgrade them to\nthe same version. Every other package is <strong>independently versioned</strong> —\n<code>@pracht/cli</code> is on 1.x while core is on 0.x — so there is no \"one framework\nversion\". Two consequences:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Internal ranges stop at the minor.</strong> Published packages depend on their\nsiblings with caret ranges on 0.x (e.g. <code>@pracht/core: ^0.20.0</code>), and a 0.x\ncaret never crosses a minor. <code>@pracht/vite-plugin</code>, the adapters,\n<code>@pracht/session</code>, <code>@pracht/i18n</code>, <code>@pracht/query</code>, and <code>@pracht/test</code> take\n<code>@pracht/core</code> as a peer, so upgrading core past their range fails with\n<code>ERESOLVE</code> under npm and warns under pnpm; forcing it through\n(<code>--legacy-peer-deps</code>, <code>--force</code>) can install a second core that splits the\nruntime. Upgrade the whole family in one move.</li>\n<li><strong>Most packages are 0.x</strong>, so under semver a <em>minor</em> bump may be breaking —\ntreat <code>### Minor Changes</code> entries on 0.x packages with the same care as\nmajors.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>After any upgrade, confirm a single core resolution:</p>\n<pre><code>pnpm why @pracht/core   # exactly one version may appear\n</code></pre>\n<h2>Step 3: Read the changelogs between installed and target</h2>\n<p>Only <code>@pracht/cli</code> ships <code>CHANGELOG.md</code> in its npm tarball\n(<code>node_modules/@pracht/cli/CHANGELOG.md</code>); the other packages publish <code>dist/</code>\nonly. Fetch their changelogs from the repo instead:</p>\n<pre><code>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JoviDeCroock/pracht/main/packages/&lt;dir&gt;/CHANGELOG.md\n</code></pre>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Package</th>\n<th>Repo directory</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/core</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/framework</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/cli</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/cli</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/vite-plugin</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/vite-plugin</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/adapter-node</code> / <code>-cloudflare</code> / <code>-netlify</code> / <code>-vercel</code> / <code>-static</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/adapter-*</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/preact-ssr-precompile</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/preact-ssr-precompile</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/capabilities</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/capabilities</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/content</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/content</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/markdown</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/markdown</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/openapi</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/openapi</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/image</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/image</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/i18n</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/i18n</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/session</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/session</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>@pracht/test</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/test</code></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td><code>create-pracht</code></td>\n<td><code>packages/start</code></td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<p>Changelogs are changesets-generated: <code>## X.Y.Z</code> sections containing\n<code>### Major Changes</code> / <code>### Minor Changes</code> / <code>### Patch Changes</code>. Read every\nsection between the installed and target version of every installed package.</p>\n<h2>Step 4: Map changes onto this app</h2>\n<p>Classify each entry as <strong>breaking</strong> / <strong>feature</strong> / <strong>fix</strong>. For each breaking\n(or 0.x minor) entry, grep the app for the APIs, exports, config options, and\ngenerated-file shapes it names, and record: affected files, the migration the\nchangelog prescribes, and whether it can be applied mechanically. Also\nre-check peer ranges after a major target bump — <code>@pracht/vite-plugin</code>\nrequires <code>vite</code> (^8), <code>@pracht/adapter-cloudflare</code> requires <code>vite</code> and\n<code>wrangler</code> (^4.81), <code>@pracht/core</code> requires <code>preact</code> (^10) and\n<code>preact-render-to-string</code> (^6.7).</p>\n<p>Present the plan as a table:</p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Package</th>\n<th>Installed → Target</th>\n<th>Breaking entries</th>\n<th>App impact</th>\n<th>Migration</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n</table>\n<h2>Step 5: Confirm, then apply</h2>\n<p>Use <code>AskUserQuestion</code> before touching anything when breaking migrations are\nrequired: confirm the target versions and which migrations to apply. Then:</p>\n<pre><code>pnpm up '@pracht/core@&lt;v&gt;' '@pracht/cli@&lt;v&gt;' '@pracht/vite-plugin@&lt;v&gt;' &lt;adapters...&gt;\n</code></pre>\n<p>Upgrade every installed <code>@pracht/*</code> package in the same command. Apply the\nagreed code migrations with minimal diffs, one changelog entry at a time.\nThen read the page behind each changed API with <code>pracht docs &lt;topic&gt;</code>, which\nserves the docs bundled with the newly installed CLI. A CLI without that\ncommand predates it; use <a href=\"https://pracht.resynapse.dev/llms.txt\">https://pracht.resynapse.dev/llms.txt</a> instead.</p>\n<h2>Step 6: Verification ladder</h2>\n<p>Run in order; stop and fix at the first failure:</p>\n<pre><code>pracht doctor --json          # wiring still valid\npracht typegen --check        # generated route types up to date?\npracht typegen                # regenerate if --check failed or routes changed\npracht verify --json          # framework-aware checks\npnpm typecheck                # both tsconfig programs, if the app has the script\npracht build                  # full production build (budgets included)\npnpm test                     # the app's own suite\n</code></pre>\n<p><code>pracht doctor</code>, <code>verify</code>, and <code>typegen --check</code> exit non-zero on failure, so\nthey gate CI cleanly. Act on doctor <em>warnings</em> too: <code>pnpm up</code> never touches\nfiles <code>create-pracht</code> wrote, so a warning is how an older scaffold learns it\nneeds a config change — for example adding <code>\"src/**/*.d.ts\"</code> to the\n<code>include</code> of <code>tsconfig.client.json</code>, without which typed route hooks are\n<code>unknown</code> in client code and <code>&lt;Link route&gt;</code> accepts any string.</p>\n<h2>Step 7: Rollback note</h2>\n<p>If the ladder cannot be made green, roll back rather than shipping a\nhalf-upgrade:</p>\n<pre><code>git restore package.json pnpm-lock.yaml &amp;&amp; pnpm install\ngit checkout -- &lt;migrated files&gt;   # or revert the upgrade commit\n</code></pre>\n<p>Because internal ranges stop at the minor, a <em>partial</em> rollback (one package\nback, the rest forward) hits the peer conflicts or duplicate core from Step 2 —\nroll the whole family back together.</p>\n<h2>Rules</h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Never mix <code>@pracht/*</code> versions from different release waves — upgrade and\nroll back the family as a unit, and verify with <code>pnpm why @pracht/core</code>.</li>\n<li>Read changelogs before installing, not after something breaks.</li>\n<li>Never apply a breaking-change migration without explicit user confirmation\nvia <code>AskUserQuestion</code>.</li>\n<li>Treat 0.x minor bumps as potentially breaking.</li>\n<li>Do not hand-edit lockfiles; let the package manager resolve.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>$ARGUMENTS</p>\n","files":[{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":7282,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
