# Dependency Management

## Overview

Every dependency is a commitment -- to its maintenance, security surface, and upgrade path. Add deliberately, update strategically, audit regularly.

**Core principle:** Every dependency decision should be justified. Don't add what you can write. Don't ignore what you can update. Don't skip what you can audit.

## When to Use

- Adding a new package or library to a project
- Security audit warnings (npm audit, pip-audit, cargo audit, etc.)
- Batch dependency update time
- Major version upgrade decisions
