The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 17 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 3

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Use this repo's package manager.

    line 9
  2. Distinctive:

    Read migration notes for major upgrades.

    line 10
  3. Distinctive:

    Run focused tests, the required suite, and a production build if bundling or deploy is affected.

    line 11

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 17 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Dependency management

  1. Confirm the package is necessary, maintained, and compatible with runtime and license rules.
  2. Use this repo's package manager. Update the lockfile in the same change.
  3. Read migration notes for major upgrades. Review install scripts and surprising transitive jumps.
  4. Run focused tests, the required suite, and a production build if bundling or deploy is affected.

Done when the lockfile matches the manifest and no registry credentials leaked.
