SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enforces reproducible builds by replacing semver ranges in package.json with exact versions sourced from the project lock file, ensuring environments are deterministic.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pin all dependencies to exact versions using authoritative lock files.
  • Regenerate lock files to reflect pinned versions and validate consistency.
  • Applicable to npm, Yarn, or pnpm projects with a valid lock file to prevent drift across environments.

Quick Start

Run the Package Version Correction workflow to replace all version ranges in package.json with exact versions extracted from the lock file.

FAQPage Schema
How do I pin dependency versions in package.json for reproducible builds?▼

Lock file validation confirms the integrity of your npm, Yarn, or pnpm lock file before sourcing exact dependency versions and regenerating the lock file to reflect the pinned package.json state.

Do I need a valid lock file to convert package.json version ranges to exact versions?▼

Yes, a valid lock file is required to extract authoritative exact versions and ensure dependency consistency without adding new packages to your project environment.

What's the best way to prevent dependency drift across npm, Yarn, and pnpm environments?▼

After pinning exact versions, regenerate the lock file to validate consistency and ensure the lock file accurately reflects the pinned package.json state without introducing new packages.

Can I use this approach to fix version ranges without adding new packages to my project?▼

Yes, the process strictly replaces existing version ranges with exact versions extracted from the lock file and regenerates it without adding any new packages to your project.

Why does my lock file validation fail when trying to enforce exact package versions?▼

Lock file validation fails when the lock file is missing, corrupted, or out of sync with package.json, preventing the extraction of authoritative exact versions for reproducible builds.
