SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Verifies that project dependencies use the latest stable or LTS versions. Checks actual installed versions against what is currently available. Use when adding dependencies, upgrading packages, or when Claude references a library API. Activates when dependencies are being added or when library usage patterns may be outdated.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Read and interpret multiple dependency manifests (e.g., package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, Cargo.toml) to determine currently installed versions.
  • Query the official registries for the latest stable or LTS releases and compare against installed versions to identify gaps.
  • Use case: before merging a dependency upgrade, run this skill to surface upgrades and compatibility considerations so you can decide on the best upgrade path.

Quick Start

Run the check-deps skill to verify all dependencies are on the latest stable or LTS versions and surface required upgrades.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check outdated dependencies in package.json or pyproject.toml against the latest stable versions?▼

To check outdated dependencies in package.json or pyproject.toml, read the manifest to determine installed versions and query official registries for the latest stable or LTS releases to identify version gaps and surface upgrade recommendations.

What's the best way to verify dependency versions across Node, Python, Go, and Rust projects?▼

The best way to verify dependency versions across Node, Python, Go, and Rust projects is to parse dependency manifests like go.mod and Cargo.toml, query registries for current releases, and report discrepancies with compatibility considerations for safe upgrades.

Can I use automated dependency verification to avoid breaking changes when upgrading packages?▼

Yes, automated dependency verification avoids breaking changes by comparing installed versions against the latest stable or LTS releases and surfacing compatibility considerations so you can decide on the best upgrade path before merging.

When do I need to verify project dependencies for version discrepancies?▼

You need to verify project dependencies for version discrepancies when adding new dependencies, upgrading existing packages, or reviewing library API usage patterns to ensure installed versions match the latest stable or LTS releases available in registries.

Does dependency verification work with multiple package managers and manifest formats?▼

Yes, dependency verification works with multiple package managers by reading and interpreting various manifest formats including package.json, pyproject.toml, go.mod, and Cargo.toml to determine currently installed versions and compare them against registry data.
