Package Usage Agent Skill

Track which stacks across a Pulumi organization use a specific package and at what versions. Use for cross-stack audits, identifying outdated or unmaintained package versions across many stacks, finding affected stacks before publishing breaking changes to a component package, or planning coordinated upgrade rollouts. Do NOT use for upgrading a cloud provider package (pulumi-aws, pulumi-azure-native, pulumi-gcp, pulumi-kubernetes, etc.) in a single project — use skill `provider-upgrade` instead. Do NOT use for general infrastructure creation, resource provisioning, or how-to questions about a package.

API Reference

Query the Pulumi Cloud API with the pulumi api CLI subcommand. It authenticates with your existing Pulumi credentials and returns JSON.

Get the latest version of a package

pulumi api /api/registry/packages -F name={package_name} -F orgLogin={orgName}

Include orgLogin with the user's organization name. Omit -F name=... to list all packages visible to the organization (useful when the user has not named a specific package). The response contains a packages array. Each entry has a version field (the latest version), plus name, publisher, source, and packageStatus.

Get stack usage for a package

pulumi api /api/orgs/{orgName}/packages/usage -F packageName={package_name}

Replace {orgName} with the org name from context, PULUMI_ORG, or ask the user. packageName is required; query one package at a time.

Response fields:

  • packageName: The queried package
  • stacks: Array of {stackName, projectName, version, lastUpdate}
  • totalStacks: Total count

Workflow: Find outdated stacks

Use when the user wants to know which stacks are using an outdated version of a package.

  • Get the latest version of the package
  • Get stack usage for the package
  • Compare each stack's version against the latest to identify outdated stacks
  • Present results using the output format below

Output Format

Present results as a markdown table followed by a summary line:

| Project | Stack | Current Version | Latest Version | Status |
|---------|-------|-----------------|----------------|--------|
| my-app  | dev   | 6.40.0          | 6.52.0         | Outdated |
| my-app  | prod  | 6.52.0          | 6.52.0         | Up-to-date |

2 of 2 stacks checked. 1 outdated.

Out of scope: upgrading a specific stack

This skill identifies outdated stacks. It does not perform the upgrade itself. For actually bumping a package version in a project — editing package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml, go.mod, or Pulumi.yaml, running pulumi preview, and reconciling the diff — hand off to the provider-upgrade skill.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take pulumi/package-usage from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
