upgrading-dbt
From the author
Use when a user wants to upgrade, update, or migrate a dbt project to the latest version — e.g. "upgrade my dbt project," "migrate this off dbt 1.5," "get this project running on the latest dbt," "bump the dbt version." Upgrades a dbt v1 project (on 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, or 1.7) all the way to 1.12, applying the required breaking, behavior, and deprecated changes from a data-driven issue corpus. Inputs — starting_version (the project's current dbt minor, one of 1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7) and adapter_type (snowflake/redshift/bigquery/databricks/spark); both are normally supplied by the caller (e.g. the dbt VS Code extension), with fallbacks described in the skill.

- java-upgradegithub/awesome-copilotUpgrade a Java project to a newer JDK (11 to 17, 17 to 21, 21 to 25) and adopt the new language and library features. Detects the current Java version from the build files, then loads only the matching per-version guide. Use when the user asks to upgrade Java, modernize Java code, or adopt records, sealed classes, pattern matching, virtual threads or other new Java features. For automated end-to-end upgrades see the modernize-java plugin.Engineering★ 40.3K

Also use when versioning a model (model versions, latest_version, latest_version_pointer, deprecation_date, migration windows), enforcing contracts, setting access or groups, or doing multi-project dbt Mesh work (cross-project refs via dependencies.yml, disambiguating similarly-named models, splitting a monolith).
