SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill prevents code generation from relying on outdated or incompatible dependency versions by checking what is actually locked in the project and turning that into actionable constraints.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version verification: Compares locked package versions with the latest stable registry releases.
  • Risk detection: Surfaces known security issues, advisories, and version-specific bugs that could affect implementation.
  • Migration guidance: Extracts the practical API and behavior changes developers need to avoid when generating plan, task, and implementation outputs.
  • Use Case: A team preparing a feature in a spec-kit project can run this Skill to ensure every downstream coding step follows the correct dependency constraints.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to inspect the project’s locked dependencies, check them against current registry versions, and write a version guard report with compatibility rules and upgrade notes.

Frequently Asked Questions about speckit-version-guard-check

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check locked npm dependency versions against the latest registry releases?▼

Check locked npm dependency versions by resolving package sources from lockfiles or package.json, comparing major versions against npm latest stable releases, and producing a constraints report with compatibility rules and known-issue notes.

How do I detect security vulnerabilities in my project's locked dependencies before shipping?▼

Detect security vulnerabilities in locked dependencies by verifying locked versions against live registries and issue trackers, which surfaces known advisories, security issues, and version-specific bugs affecting implementation.

Can I generate migration guidance for outdated npm packages in a spec-kit project?▼

Yes, generate migration guidance for outdated npm packages by extracting practical API and behavior changes developers need to avoid, ensuring downstream coding steps follow correct dependency constraints.

Why does code generation rely on outdated dependency versions?▼

Code generation relies on outdated dependency versions when locked package versions are not verified against current registry releases, causing generated code to miss current API behaviors and compatibility rules.

What is a dependency version guard check and when do I need it?▼

A dependency version guard check verifies locked package versions against live registries and issue trackers. You need it before planning features to ensure downstream coding steps follow correct dependency constraints and avoid incompatible versions.

Does this version verification process work with lockfiles or package.json?▼

Yes, this version verification process works by resolving package sources directly from either lockfiles or package.json to compare locked major versions against npm latest stable releases.
