To keep linter and formatter configuration in sync, this skill validates installed development tools and applies user-approved auto-updates to checkmate.json, preventing configuration drift when tools are added, removed, or updated across environments.

What is the best way to update auto-generated devops checks without losing custom rules?▼

Updating auto-generated devops checks without losing custom rules is possible by preserving existing user-defined checks while safely suggesting updates only for auto-generated configurations discovered in your project.

How do I validate that my configured development tools actually exist in the current environment?▼

To validate that configured development tools exist, the skill detects current package managers and tool availability, automatically flagging any missing tools or mismatched versions in your configuration file.

Does checkmate-refresh work if my project switches package managers or removes existing linters?▼

Yes, checkmate-refresh works if your project switches package managers or removes linters by detecting current tool availability, validating configured checks, and guiding safe configuration updates for the new environment.

Why does my checkmate.json configuration show missing tool version errors?▼
