SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of inconsistent package manager usage in Node.js projects, which leads to broken builds, lockfile conflicts, and wasted debugging time. It ensures your entire team and CI/CD pipeline use pnpm exclusively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic Command Correction: Detects and automatically converts npm or yarn commands to their pnpm equivalents before execution.
  • Project-Wide Consistency: Enforces pnpm usage across scripts, CI/CD configurations, and documentation.
  • Use Case: When a new team member clones the repo and instinctively runs npm install, this Skill intercepts the command, warns them, and runs pnpm install instead, preventing lockfile corruption and ensuring a smooth setup.

Quick Start

Activate this Skill and ask: "Install the lodash dependency for this project."
