SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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cutoff date, so version-sensitive information like library APIs, package versions, model IDs, and pricing is often outdated.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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify library API accuracy against current sources instead of outdated training data?

To verify library API accuracy, you must check current official documentation and project lockfiles rather than relying on fixed AI training data, ensuring version-sensitive technical facts are correct and preventing broken code.

How do I check exact installed package versions before writing code?

Checking exact installed package versions requires inspecting project lockfiles like package-lock.json or go.sum first, which confirms the precise dependencies installed before making API assumptions or writing framework code.

Why does my AI assistant give outdated information for model IDs and pricing?

AI assistants provide outdated model IDs and pricing because training data has a fixed cutoff date, requiring mandatory verification against authoritative web sources to eliminate inaccurate answers for time-sensitive technical information.

When do I need to verify version-sensitive technical facts for software development?

You need to verify version-sensitive technical facts whenever querying library APIs, package versions, CLI flags, model IDs, or pricing, as fixed training data cutoffs cause stale information that leads to incorrect recommendations and costly mistakes.

What is the best way to confirm the correct import syntax for the version of a framework installed in my project?

The best way to confirm correct import syntax is checking the project lockfile to identify the exact installed framework version, then verifying the corresponding API against current official documentation before writing code.
