When to Use

When checking if skill content matches current library/framework version.

Patterns

Version Check Strategy

# Search for latest version
"[library] latest version 2025"
"[library] npm OR pypi OR crates"

# Find changelog
"[library] changelog OR releases"
"[library] site:github.com releases"

Changelog Locations by Platform

npm packages:
  - npmjs.com/package/[name]?activeTab=versions
  - github.com/[org]/[repo]/releases

Python:
  - pypi.org/project/[name]/#history
  - github.com/[org]/[repo]/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md

GitHub:
  - /releases (preferred)
  - /blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
  - /blob/main/HISTORY.md

Breaking Changes Keywords

Search for:
  - "BREAKING CHANGE"
  - "breaking:"
  - "deprecated"
  - "removed in [version]"
  - "migration guide"
  - "upgrade guide"

SemVer Quick Reference

MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH (e.g., 2.1.3)

MAJOR: Breaking changes (APIs removed/changed)
MINOR: New features (backward compatible)
PATCH: Bug fixes only

⚠️ Pre-1.0: Any change can be breaking
⚠️ Check for ^ vs ~ in dependencies

Anti-Patterns

Assuming patch versions have no impact
Ignoring peer dependency changes
Not checking release date (old = risky)
Skipping alpha/beta/rc notes

Verification Checklist

Current version identified
Skill assumes correct version
No breaking changes since skill creation
Deprecation warnings checked
