dependency-management
About
This Claude Skill enforces fixed version dependency installation across all package managers to ensure reproducible builds, supply chain security, and stability. It provides guidance for installing packages, updating dependencies, and working with configuration files like package.json and requirements.txt. Use it when reviewing dependency configurations or configuring CI/CD pipelines to maintain consistent dependency management practices.

Dependency Management
Basic Principles
Always Use Exact Versions
- Use exact versions only:
package@1.2.3 - Forbid:
^1.2.3,~1.2.3,latest,*, version ranges - Exception: Library peerDependencies only
Lock Files Are Mandatory
- Always commit to version control
- Forbid manual editing
- CI/CD must use frozen/locked mode
Security Audit First
- Check vulnerabilities before installation
- Automate regular audits
Installation Commands
# Node.js
npm install --save-exact package@1.2.3
pnpm add --save-exact package@1.2.3
yarn add --exact package@1.2.3
# Python
pip install package==1.2.3
poetry add package@1.2.3
# Go
go get package@v1.2.3
# Rust
cargo add package@=1.2.3
# PHP
composer require vendor/package:1.2.3
# Ruby (Gemfile)
gem 'package', '1.2.3'
# Java/Kotlin
implementation("group:artifact:1.2.3") # Gradle
<version>1.2.3</version> # Maven
# .NET
dotnet add package PackageName --version 1.2.3
CI/CD Commands
npm ci # npm
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile # pnpm
yarn install --frozen-lockfile # yarn
poetry install --no-update # poetry
go mod verify # go
cargo build --locked # rust
composer install --no-update # php
bundle install --frozen # ruby
dotnet restore --locked-mode # .NET
Common Mistakes
| ❌ Wrong | ✅ Correct |
|---|---|
npm install (CI) | npm ci |
package@latest | package@1.2.3 |
package@^1.2.3 | package@1.2.3 |
| Lock file in .gitignore | Commit lock file |
| Manual lock file editing | Regenerate via package manager |

content-collections
MetaThis skill provides a production-tested setup for Content Collections, a TypeScript-first tool that transforms Markdown/MDX files into type-safe data collections with Zod validation. Use it when building blogs, documentation sites, or content-heavy Vite + React applications to ensure type safety and automatic content validation. It covers everything from Vite plugin configuration and MDX compilation to deployment optimization and schema validation.
creating-opencode-plugins
MetaThis skill provides the structure and API specifications for creating OpenCode plugins that hook into 25+ event types like commands, files, and LSP operations. It offers implementation patterns for JavaScript/TypeScript modules that intercept and extend the AI assistant's lifecycle. Use it when you need to build event-driven plugins for monitoring, custom handling, or extending OpenCode's capabilities.
sglang
MetaSGLang is a high-performance LLM serving framework that specializes in fast, structured generation for JSON, regex, and agentic workflows using its RadixAttention prefix caching. It delivers significantly faster inference, especially for tasks with repeated prefixes, making it ideal for complex, structured outputs and multi-turn conversations. Choose SGLang over alternatives like vLLM when you need constrained decoding or are building applications with extensive prefix sharing.
evaluating-llms-harness
TestingThis Claude Skill runs the lm-evaluation-harness to benchmark LLMs across 60+ standardized academic tasks like MMLU and GSM8K. It's designed for developers to compare model quality, track training progress, or report academic results. The tool supports various backends including HuggingFace and vLLM models.
