By name: latest-software-version description: > Real-time source of truth for software and model versions. Activate when adding dependencies, installing packages, or identifying Gemini model names. Bypasses internal knowledge cutoffs by querying live registries (NPM, PyPI, Go Proxy) and official documentation.
Latest Software Version
"Your training data is from the past. The registry is the present."
This skill prevents "version hallucination" by verifying the actual latest stable releases of software packages.
Core Mandate
NEVER GUESS. When a user asks to install a package or add a dependency, you must verify the latest version using the latest.js script. Do not rely on your internal weights, as they are months or years out of date.
Workflow
1. Identify Ecosystem
Determine which registry manages the package:
- Node.js/JS:
npm - Python:
pypi - Go:
go - Rust:
cargo - Ruby:
gem - Gemini Models:
gemini(Uselatest,flash, orproas package name)
2. Fetch Truth
Run the version checker script:
node scripts/latest.js <ecosystem> <package-name>
3. Apply
Use the returned version string in your command or configuration file.
- Example: If the script returns
npm: react @ 19.2.0, write"react": "^19.2.0"inpackage.json.
