From the source SKILL.md

Update outdated npm dependencies across every package.json under the current working directory. For each project the skill bumps each outdated dependency's version specifier to ^<wanted> (the "wanted" version reported by npm outdated, i.e. the highest version satisfying the existing semver range), then runs npm install to refresh the lockfile and node_modules.
