Dependency Management

Identify every package the feature needs, finish code and manifest edits, then install once before verification.

Workflow

1. Read the requirements and identify ALL needed packages
2. Add them all to package.json in one edit
3. Implement the feature and finish all dependency-manifest edits
4. Run install once (pnpm install --prefer-offline or npm install --prefer-offline --no-audit --no-fund)
5. Verify the build

Example

Task: "Add a chart dashboard with date filtering"

Identify upfront: recharts, date-fns, @types/recharts

// One package.json edit with all three
"dependencies": {
  "recharts": "^2.12.0",
  "date-fns": "^3.6.0"
},
"devDependencies": {
  "@types/recharts": "^2.0.0"
}

After implementation, run one npm install --prefer-offline --no-audit --no-fund, then verify.

Avoid

• Writing code, discovering a missing import, installing, repeat
• Running multiple install commands throughout the build
• Installing packages one at a time as you discover them
