require-aws-amplify-version

Require a top-level version key in AWS Amplify build specs.

Targeted pattern scope​

  • Root-level version: in amplify.yml or amplify.yaml.

What this rule reports​

This rule reports Amplify build specs that omit top-level spec version metadata.

Why this rule exists​

Version metadata anchors parsing/semantics expectations and makes spec intent explicit during review.

❌ Incorrect​

frontend:
  phases:

      commands:
        - npm run build

✅ Correct​

version: 1
frontend:
  phases:
    build:
      commands:
        - npm run build

When not to use it​
