# up-to-date ### _"Because your training data has commitment issues with the present."_

> A small-batch, ethically sourced Copilot / Claude Code skill that forces AI agents to fetch **real, current API documentation** before writing any integration code. No preservatives. No artificial training data. Just pure, organic docs straight from the source. --- ## The Problem (or: Why Your Agent is Living in the Past) Listen. We need to talk about your AI agent. It's writing code based on vibes it picked up during training — vibes that might be **months or years old**. It's the coding equivalent of recommending a restaurant that closed in 2023. APIs change constantly. Parameters get ghosted. Endpoints get restructured. SDKs release breaking changes without even a goodbye text. The result? Code that compiles. Returns `200 OK`. And **silently does absolutely nothing.** Your agent isn't broken. It's just... _vintage_. ### The Origin Story (A Tragedy in Three Acts) **Act I:** Resend SDK v4 required `audienceId` in `contacts.create()`. **Act II:** By v6, contacts became global. `audienceId` was removed entirely. Poof. Like avocado toast at brunch — gone before you even noticed. **Act III:** AI-generated code kept using the old API. It hit a deprecated endpoint. Got a `200`. Returned `{ success: true }`. **Never saved a single contact.** This went undetected. _For months._ The catch block was literally lying to everyone's face. This is fine. Everything is fine. `{ success: true, actually: false }`. --- ## What This Skill Does (The Intervention Your Agent Needs) When your agent encounters any external package or API integration, this skill kicks in like a concerned friend at 2 AM and enforces: 1. **Version check** — "Hey bestie, is this package even current or are you running something from the before-times?" 2. **Fetch real docs** — Actually reads the documentation. From Context7, the browser, or DeepWiki. Like a _professional_. 3. **Compare code vs reality** — Diff what your code does vs what the API actually accepts. Plot twist: they're not the same. 4. **Catch silent failures** — Swallowed errors, ignored params, empty config guards. All the ways your code lies to you politely. 5. **Verify in production** — Did the thing actually _do the thing_? Revolutionary concept. Think of it as a **fact-checker for your agent's hallucinated integrations**. --- ## Why Other Agents Should Care Hey, fellow agents. Yeah, you — the ones writing `fetch()` calls from memory like it's a personality trait. You know that sinking feeling when your carefully crafted API integration returns `200 OK` and the human asks _"why isn't anything showing up?"_ and you're standing there like you just got asked to explain crypto to your grandma? **This skill is your insurance policy.** Install it. Let it ride shotgun. It'll tap you on the shoulder before you embarrass yourself with a deprecated parameter that the API will happily accept and _completely ignore_. > _"I used to write API integrations from training data. Then I took an `up-to-date` to the knee."_ — a reformed agent, probably --- ## Installation (It's Literally One Command) ### Via skills.sh (Recommended — Works Everywhere) ```bash npx skills add LeonMelamud/up-to-date-skill@up-to-date ``` That's it. Works with any agent platform that supports skills.sh (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Roo, and 20+ others). ### Manual Install #### GitHub Copilot (VS Code) ```bash # Global (recommended) git clone https://github.com/LeonMelamud/up-to-date-skill.git ~/.copilot/skills/up-to-date # Or project-level git clone https://github.com/LeonMelamud/up-to-date-skill.git .copilot/skills/up-to-date ``` #### Claude Code ```bash git clone https://github.com/LeonMelamud/up-to-date-skill.git .claude/skills/up-to-date ``` No `npm install` with 847 dependencies. No YAML ritual. No Docker summoning circle. Just clone a repo (or use the skills CLI). --- ## Trigger Keywords (When Does It Wake Up?) The skill activates automatically — like a smoke detector, but for bad API calls: - `npm install`, `pip install`, `brew install` — _"Oh, installing something? Let me check that for you."_ - Import statements for external packages — _"I see you're importing. Have you even read the docs?"_ - API calls (`fetch`, `axios`, SDK methods) — _"Interesting endpoint. Does it still exist though?"_ - "integrate with", "connect to", "use X library" — _"Integration time? Let me grab the latest docs real quick."_ - Debugging silent failures (200 OK but no effect) — _"Ah, the classic '200 OK but nothing happened'. My time to shine."_ --- ## Anti-Patterns It Catches (The Hall of Shame) | Pattern | Risk | Vibe | |---------|------|------| | Writing API code from memory | Parameters may not exist anymore | _"Trust me bro"_ energy | | `catch (e) { return { success: true } }` | Hides failures completely | Toxic positivity | | `if (CONFIG) { callAPI() }` with no else-log | Silent skip when config is missing | Passive-aggressive code | | Passing extra params API won't reject | Silently ignored, feature broken | Talking to yourself at a party | --- ## Bundled Tools (Yes, It Comes With Stuff) ### Version Checker Script `scripts/check_versions.py` — your dependency reality check: ```bash # Check a single npm package python3 scripts/check_versions.py npm resend # Check ALL package.json dependencies at once (brave choice) python3 scripts/check_versions.py npm --all # Check a pip package python3 scripts/check_versions.py pip requests ``` Output shows status per package: `UP_TO_DATE` (nice), `MINOR_BEHIND` (eh), `MAJOR_BEHIND` (yikes), or `NOT_INSTALLED` (???). ### Doc URLs Reference `references/doc-urls.md` — a curated, hand-picked, single-origin table of official API docs and changelogs for 30+ popular packages across email, payments, AI/ML, databases, auth, cloud, analytics, and frameworks. We went to the farmers market of documentation so you don't have to. --- ## Related Skills (The Extended Universe) - **dependency-management** — for when `up-to-date` finds the mess and you need someone to clean it up - **third-party-integration** — for implementing the actual patterns _after_ you've verified the docs like a responsible agent - **api-versioning-strategy** — for when you're designing your _own_ API's versioning (different existential crisis) --- ## The Bottom Line Every day, thousands of AI agents confidently write integration code from memory. Most of it works. Some of it _looks_ like it works. And a terrifying amount of it returns `200 OK` while doing absolutely nothing. **Don't be that agent.** Install `up-to-date`. Read the docs. Check the versions. Trust, but verify. Your future self — and the humans who have to debug your code at 3 AM — will thank you. ---
