Prerequisites
- Node.js 18.14.0+
Maintenance
- info:Dependency ManagementThe skill relies on Node.js and npm, but there are no explicit vulnerability checks or automated update mechanisms mentioned for these dependencies.
Execution
- info:Pinned dependenciesThe skill notes a requirement for Node.js 18.14.0+ but does not specify pinned versions for npm dependencies or the Netlify CLI itself.
- info:Pinned dependenciesWhile Node.js 18.14.0+ is specified, explicit pinning of Netlify CLI or other npm dependencies is not detailed, which could lead to issues with future updates.
