Smart Dependency Manager FAQs

Question 1

Which programming languages and package managers are supported?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes specific guidance for Python (using uv), TypeScript/JavaScript (using npm), and Rust (using cargo).

Question 2

When is it acceptable to pin a specific version?

Accepted Answer

Pinning is only allowed when there is a known breaking change or compatibility issue. In these cases, the version must be documented with a comment explaining why and linked to a tracking issue.

Question 3

Does this skill help with lock file management?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the workflow specifically includes steps to run the install command, verify the resolution, and commit the updated lock file (like package-lock.json or uv.lock) to version control.

Question 4

What is the core philosophy of this Claude Code skill?

Accepted Answer

The core principle is to let package managers handle version resolution automatically. You should rarely specify version numbers manually unless a documented breaking change requires pinning.

Question 5

Why shouldn't I specify version numbers in my dependency files?

Accepted Answer

Modern package managers are better at resolving compatible versions than humans. Avoiding manual pinning prevents dependency conflicts and ensures you receive the latest compatible features and security updates.
