<when_to_use>

Load this skill when querying any pom.xml file — extracting dependency versions, filtering by groupId or scope, mapping module hierarchy from parent POMs, or detecting version conflicts across a multi-module Java project.

</when_to_use>

Domain skill for querying Maven POM XML files using dasel v3. Always pass -i xml explicitly. Child element text content (groupId, artifactId, version, scope) is accessed by element name directly — no #text needed. Write intermediate batch results to /tmp/, never to the source tree.

# All dependency groupIds from a single POM
cat pom.xml | dasel -i xml 'project.dependencies.dependency.map(groupId)'
