dependency-version-constraints-auto

dependency-version-constraints-auto is a cursor rule for Cursor from rosendolu/cursor-rules-deploy. It costs 541 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Rules for managing software dependencies, which are external libraries and tools used by a project. They require fixed versions, record the required programming-language versions, and separate runtime packages from development-only packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when adding or updating packages in projects using Node.js, Python, .NET, Java, or Ruby, and when documenting or checking version requirements.
Why use it?
They make builds more reproducible and help prevent unexpected changes, compatibility failures, and overlooked security issues.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

dependency-version-constraints-auto scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

📦 Dependency and Version Constraints

Critical Rules

  • 🔒 Lock all direct dependency versions to specific versions or exact ranges to ensure reproducible builds
  • 🚫 Never use loose version constraints (e.g., ^, ~, >=, >) in production dependencies
  • ⚡ Specify Node.js version constraints in package.json using the engines field
  • 🔄 Keep all dependencies up to date with security patches while maintaining version locks
  • 🏗️ Separate devDependencies from production dependencies in Node.js projects
  • 📝 Document any specific version requirements or compatibility issues in README.md
  • 🧪 Test the application with the exact versions specified in lock files
  • 🔍 Review all transitive dependencies for security vulnerabilities
  • 📊 Maintain compatibility with the following version constraints:
    • Node.js: >= 18.x (LTS)
    • Python: >= 3.8
    • .NET Core: >= 6.0
    • Java: >= 11
    • Ruby: >= 3.0
  • 🚨 Flag any dependencies that require specific OS or architecture support

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
