+```bash
+npx npm-check-updates --version

+If the command fails or prompts for installation, install it globally:
+```bash

+### Steps 3–5: Update Dependencies (only if BASE_BRANCH is "main")
+
+> **Skip Steps 3, 4, and 5 if BASE_BRANCH is not "main".**
+
+### Step 3: Update Dependencies
+
+Run npm-check-updates for `packages/typespec-python/package.json`:
+```bash
+npx npm-check-updates -u --filter @typespec/*,@azure-tools/* --packageFile packages/typespec-python/package.json
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update peerDependencies
+
+Update `peerDependencies` in `packages/typespec-python/package.json`:
+- If format is `">=0.a.b <1.0.0"`: Update only the `0.a.b` portion, keep the range format unchanged
+- If format is `"^1.a.b"`: Update to the latest version
+
+### Step 5: Verify devDependencies Versions for Specs
+
+Verify `devDependencies` versions for specs in `packages/typespec-python/package.json`:
+- Check `@typespec/http-specs` and `@azure-tools/azure-http-specs`
+- If the original version in `package.json` is newer than the updated value, keep the original version
+- Dev versions are typically in the form `x.y.z-alpha.N-dev.M` (e.g., `0.1.0-alpha.37-dev.3`).
+
+Example:
+- Original: `@typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5`, updated by step 3 to `0.1.0-alpha.11` → keep `0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5`.
+- Original: `@typespec/http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.5`, updated by step 3 to `0.1.0-alpha.12` → keep `0.1.0-alpha.12` (step 3 works as expected).
+- Original: `@azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2`, updated to `0.1.0-alpha.11` → keep `0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2`.
+- Original: `@azure-tools/azure-http-specs: 0.1.0-alpha.12-dev.2`, updated to `0.1.0-alpha.12` → keep `0.1.0-alpha.12` (step 3 works as expected).
