Ascent Dependency Health

Category: General · Sub-category: orchestration-frameworks · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Validates dependency discipline for <<PROJECT_TITLE>> via static package.json analysis. Checks pinned versions, engine constraints, framework traceability, and unused dependencies — offline-capable, no network required.

From the source SKILL.md

Validates dependency discipline through static package.json analysis. ASCENT scaffolds pin every dependency to an exact version ("express": "4.21.2", not "^4.21.2") because version ranges introduce non-deterministic builds. This skill catches unpinned versions, missing engine constraints, broken traceability, and unused dependencies — all without network access.
