pre-dev-dependency-map

Explicit versioning locks exact package and technology versions instead of using @latest, ensuring reproducible builds across environments. This skill maps dependencies to specific product versions, eliminating hidden incompatibilities and build chaos caused by automatic updates.

A dependency map documents exact versions for all technologies, packages, and infrastructure; compatibility checks; security and license validation; cost estimates; and deployment model details. This pre-development gate ensures all team members use identical tech stacks and prevents downstream integration failures.

Yes. Dependency mapping includes vulnerability scanning, license validation, and policy compliance checks against your tech stack choices. This identifies security risks and licensing conflicts before development begins, reducing later remediation costs.

A dependency map populates PROJECT_RULES.md with exact versions, deployment options (cloud or on-premise), compatibility matrices, security assessments, and cost analysis for each chosen technology. This creates a single source of truth for tech stack decisions across Go, TypeScript, frontend, DevOps, and SRE teams.

Locking the tech stack at the pre-development gate prevents version conflicts, incompatibilities, and security gaps from surfacing during task execution. Early dependency validation ensures reproducible builds and compliance throughout development, avoiding costly rework.

Yes. Dependency mapping applies across Go, TypeScript, frontend frameworks, DevOps tools, and SRE infrastructure by enforcing explicit versioning and validation for each ecosystem's package managers, lock files, and deployment models.
