# Groq Upgrade & Migration

## Overview
Guide for upgrading Groq SDK versions and handling breaking changes.

## Prerequisites
- Current Groq SDK installed
- Git for version control
- Test suite available
- Staging environment

## Instructions

### Step 1: Check Current Version
```bash
npm list @groq/sdk
npm view @groq/sdk version
```

### Step 2: Review Changelog
```bash
open https://github.com/groq/sdk/releases
```

### Step 3: Create Upgrade Branch
```bash
git checkout -b upgrade/groq-sdk-vX.Y.Z
npm install @groq/sdk@latest
npm test
```

### Step 4: Handle Breaking Changes
Update import statements, configuration, and method signatures as needed.

## Output
- Updated SDK version
- Fixed breaking changes
- Passing test suite
- Documented rollback procedure

## Error Handling
| SDK Version | API Version | Node.js | Breaking Changes |
|-------------|-------------|---------|------------------|
| 3.x | 2024-01 | 18+ | Major refactor |
| 2.x | 2023-06 | 16+ | Auth changes |
| 1.x | 2022-01 | 14+ | Initial release |

## Examples

### Import Changes
```typescript
// Before (v1.x)
import { Client } from '@groq/sdk';

// After (v2.x)
import { GroqClient } from '@groq/sdk';
```

### Configuration Changes
```typescript
// Before (v1.x)
const client = new Client({ key: 'xxx' });

// After (v2.x)
const client = new GroqClient({
  apiKey: 'xxx',
});
```

### Rollback Procedure
```bash
npm install @groq/[email protected] --save-exact
```

### Deprecation Handling
```typescript
// Monitor for deprecation warnings in development
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
  process.on('warning', (warning) => {
    if (warning.name === 'DeprecationWarning') {
      console.warn('[Groq]', warning.message);
      // Log to tracking system for proactive updates
    }
  });
}

// Common deprecation patterns to watch for:
// - Renamed methods: client.oldMethod() -> client.newMethod()
// - Changed parameters: { key: 'x' } -> { apiKey: 'x' }
// - Removed features: Check release notes before upgrading
```

Overview

This skill analyzes, plans, and executes Groq SDK upgrades with automated detection of breaking changes and deprecations. It guides repository preparation, changelog review, code updates, testing, and rollback so upgrades complete with minimal risk. Use it to move between Groq SDK major or minor versions and to validate API compatibility across environments.

How this skill works

The skill inspects the installed @groq/sdk version, fetches release notes, and compares known breaking changes against your codebase. It generates a migration plan that lists import and configuration updates, runs tests in a branch, and applies or suggests automated code edits. It also produces rollback steps and captures deprecation warnings for ongoing monitoring.

When to use it

  • Before upgrading @groq/sdk to a new major or minor version
  • When you detect runtime errors or deprecation warnings related to Groq APIs
  • When preparing staging or CI for a Groq SDK release
  • During regular maintenance to keep the SDK secure and supported
  • When migrating project code to a new Groq API version

Best practices

  • Create a dedicated git branch for the upgrade and run the full test suite before merging
  • Review official changelog and migration guide for breaking changes and examples
  • Update imports and client configuration patterns systematically (search/replace with code review)
  • Run upgrades in a staging environment that mirrors production Node.js and API versions
  • Log deprecation warnings during development and track them in your issue tracker
  • Document a tested rollback command and exact package version to restore if needed

Example use cases

  • Upgrade project from Groq SDK v1.x to v2.x and update import names and client options
  • Migrate authentication changes introduced in Groq SDK v2.x and validate token flows
  • Scan a mono-repo for deprecated method usage and generate a prioritized fix list
  • Integrate Groq SDK upgrade into CI so tests run automatically on upgrade branches
  • Quickly rollback to a known-good SDK version after a failed deployment

FAQ

How do I detect breaking changes before upgrading?

Compare your current version to the target release notes and run a code search for renamed imports, method names, and changed configuration keys.

What if tests fail after installing the new SDK?

Revert to the upgrade branch, review failing test traces for API mismatches, apply code changes for renamed methods or parameters, then re-run tests. Use the documented rollback command if immediate revert is required.
