SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manages and resolves peer dependency conflicts by validating version constraints across direct and transitive dependencies, minimizing broken builds and runtime errors.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Constraint ingestion: parses package.json or composer.json to collect direct and transitive dependencies and their version ranges.
  • Conflict detection: identifies overlapping constraints and potential peer-hell scenarios before they break the build.
  • Resolution path: proposes exact version overrides, resolutions, or the lowest common denominator that satisfies all constraints.
  • Environment checks: verifies compatibility with the current Node/Ruby/PHP tooling versions.
  • Output format: returns an exact resolutions block or an npm install/composer update command to fix the dependency tree.

Quick Start

Run the skill on your project to generate a precise resolutions block or install command for your dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I resolve peer dependency conflicts in package.json?

Resolve peer dependency conflicts by analyzing package.json to identify overlapping version constraints across direct and transitive dependencies. The tool calculates a safe resolution path and outputs an exact resolutions block or npm install command to fix the dependency tree.

When should I use --legacy-peer-deps during npm install?

Use --legacy-peer-deps when exact version overrides or resolutions blocks cannot satisfy conflicting peer dependency constraints. The tool provides specific guidance on when this flag is necessary versus when a precise version resolution is achievable.

Can I check PHP dependency constraints in composer.json for version conflicts?

Yes, you can check PHP dependency constraints by parsing composer.json to collect direct and transitive dependencies. It identifies overlapping version requirements and generates a composer update command or resolution path to prevent broken builds.

How do transitive dependencies cause peer dependency conflicts?

Transitive dependencies cause peer dependency conflicts when their required version ranges overlap and contradict each other within package.json. The tool detects these peer-hell scenarios by validating all constraint combinations before they break the build.

Does dependency compatibility checking verify Node or PHP runtime versions?

Yes, dependency compatibility checking verifies runtime compatibility by checking your current Node, Ruby, or PHP tooling versions against the resolved dependency constraints to ensure full environment compatibility.

What is the best way to prevent peer dependency conflicts before they break a build?

The best way to prevent peer dependency conflicts is validating version constraints across direct and transitive dependencies before installation. It analyzes package.json or composer.json, identifies overlapping requirements, and proposes the lowest common denominator that satisfies all constraints.
