What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents implementation errors caused by relying on remembered APIs, outdated examples, or undocumented version changes. It helps you confirm the exact installed library version before writing code so the solution matches what is actually available in the repository.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Version pinning: Identifies the locked dependency version from the repo’s manifest or lockfile so work starts from the real installed package, not a semver range.
• Documentation matching: Reads version-aligned official docs, bundled package docs, or changelogs to extract only the syntax needed for the task.
• Repository precedent and verification: Follows existing project patterns when they exist and finishes by running the repo’s own tests, build, lint, or typecheck commands.
• Use Case: A developer needs to integrate a framework API, SDK call, or build tool feature without accidentally coding against a newer or older version than the one in the project.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to pin the installed library version, read the matching documentation, implement the change using the repo’s existing pattern, and verify the result with the project’s real test and build commands.
