Tech Radar — Stack Update Scanner

Checks for latest versions, breaking changes, deprecations, and security advisories across the user's core stack.

Core Stack to Monitor

| Category | Packages | |----------|----------| | Frontend | nuxt, vue, next, react, tailwindcss, formkit, pinia | | Backend | @nestjs/core, express, fastify | | Database | prisma, @prisma/client, knex, better-auth | | Testing | vitest, @vue/test-utils, @testing-library/react | | Mobile | expo, react-native, nativewind | | AI | ai (vercel ai-sdk), @ai-sdk/openai, @ai-sdk/anthropic | | CLI | commander, chalk, ora, inquirer | | Build | typescript, tsup, turbo, vite | | Cloud | @aws-sdk/client-s3, @aws-sdk/client-ec2 |

Execution Steps

1. Parse arguments: If user specified a package/framework, focus on that. Otherwise scan full stack.

1. Check latest versions using WebSearch:

• Search: "{package} latest version {current_year}"
• Compare against currently installed version (check package.json in active project)
• Flag major version bumps (potential breaking changes)

1. Check for breaking changes:

• For major version bumps: search "{package} v{new_major} migration guide"
• Summarize key breaking changes that affect our patterns
• Cross-reference against known patterns in MEMORY.md

1. Check security advisories:

• Search: "{package} CVE {current_year}" or "{package} security advisory"
• Flag any HIGH or CRITICAL severity issues

1. Check deprecations:

• Search: "{package} deprecated features {current_year}"
• Note any APIs we currently use that are deprecated

Output Format

## Tech Radar Report — {date}

### Upgrades Available
| Package | Current | Latest | Breaking? | Priority |
|---------|---------|--------|-----------|----------|
| nuxt    | 4.0.0   | 4.1.0  | No        | Low      |
| prisma  | 6.2.0   | 7.0.0  | YES       | High     |

### Breaking Changes (Action Required)
- **prisma 7.0**: No `url` in datasource block, driver adapter required [details]

### Security Advisories
- (none found / list any CVEs)

### Deprecation Warnings
- (none / list deprecated APIs we use)

### Recommendation
[1-2 sentences: upgrade now / wait / specific actions needed]

Smart Filtering

• Only report packages actually used in the active project (check package.json)
• Skip patch/minor version bumps unless they contain security fixes
• Prioritize: Security > Breaking Changes > Major Upgrades > Minor Upgrades
• If checking all projects: deduplicate (report each package once with all affected projects)
