package-usage
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 Use for cross-stack audits, identifying outdated or unmaintained package versions across many stacks, finding affected stacks before publishing breaking changes to a component package, or planning coordinated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.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/pulumi/agent-skills --skill package-usage- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads package-usage automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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 packagestacks: 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Workflow: Find outdated stacks
Use when the user wants to know which stacks are using an outdated version of a package.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
versionagainst the latest to identify outdated stacks - Present results using the output format below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.
FAQ
What does the package-usage skill do?
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.
How do I install package-usage?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/pulumi/agent-skills --skill package-usage in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/package-usage/ (personal) or .claude/skills/package-usage/ (project).
Which AI agents can use package-usage?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is package-usage safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.
Who maintains package-usage?
It is published by pulumi in pulumi/agent-skills, and it is an official skill from the maker of the technology it covers. It has 831 recorded installs.
