SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the process of linking packages within a monorepo, resolving dependency issues and ensuring your workspace packages can find and import each other correctly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-package dependency management: Automatically adds dependencies between sibling packages in a monorepo.
  • Resolves import errors: Fixes issues like "cannot find module" or "TS2307" that arise from unlinked workspace packages.
  • Supports multiple package managers: Works with npm, yarn, pnpm, and bun.
  • Use Case: After creating a new UI component package and a new application package that needs to use it, this skill will ensure the application correctly references and imports the UI package.

Quick Start

Use the link-workspace-packages skill to add the '@org/ui' package as a dependency to the '@org/app' package using pnpm.

Frequently Asked Questions about link-workspace-packages

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix 'cannot find module' errors when importing a sibling package in a monorepo?▼

To fix 'cannot find module' errors in a monorepo, you need to link workspace packages using your package manager's workspace commands to establish correct symlinks in node_modules. This ensures sibling packages can correctly resolve and import each other.

Does linking workspace packages work with both pnpm and yarn?▼

Yes, linking workspace packages works seamlessly with pnpm and yarn, as well as npm and bun. It uses each package manager's native workspace commands to establish correct symlinks and resolve cross-package dependencies.

What's the best way to add a local UI package as a dependency to my monorepo application?▼

The best way to add a local UI package as a dependency to a monorepo application is to use your package manager's workspace linking commands. This automatically establishes the correct cross-package dependency reference and resolves import errors.

Why does TypeScript throw TS2307 for workspace packages that exist in my monorepo?▼

TypeScript throws TS2307 for existing workspace packages because they are unlinked in node_modules. You must run your package manager's workspace commands to create symlinks, which resolves the module path and clears the error.

When do I need to manually link packages in a monorepo?▼

You need to link packages in a monorepo when you create a new sibling package and another package needs to import it. Linking establishes the necessary node_modules symlinks so the importing package can correctly resolve the dependency.
