What problem does it solve?
AI training data has a fixed cutoff date, so version-sensitive information like library APIs, package versions, model IDs, and pricing is often outdated. Relying on this stale data leads to broken code, incorrect recommendations, and costly mistakes when building or maintaining software.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Mandatory Source Verification: Requires checking current official sources instead of relying on training data for all time-sensitive technical facts.
- Lockfile-First Version Checks: Guides users to check project lockfiles (package-lock.json, go.sum, etc.) to confirm exact installed package versions before making assumptions.
- Use Case: When you need to confirm the correct API for the latest version of a framework, current AI model pricing, or up-to-date CLI flags, this skill ensures you get accurate, verified information.
Quick Start
Use the staying-current skill to verify the correct import syntax for the version of React installed in this project.
