Dependency Resolver Skill

Purpose

This skill detects and resolves local vs CI environment mismatches BEFORE push, preventing the 20-45 minute debug cycles documented in DISCOVERIES.md ("CI Failure Resolution Process Analysis" entry).

The skill addresses a critical gap: existing tools (ci-diagnostic-workflow, pre-commit-diagnostic) fix issues AFTER they occur. This skill catches mismatches BEFORE push.

Problem Statement

From DISCOVERIES.md analysis:

• Environment mismatches (Local Python 3.12 vs CI Python 3.11) cause 20-25 min investigation overhead
• Version drift (local ruff 0.12.7 vs CI ruff 0.13.0) causes silent failures
• 45-minute complex debugging sessions traced to dependency conflicts
• No automated pre-push environment comparison exists
