SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill ensures that changes made within the NextSpark monorepo are rigorously tested and validated in both the monorepo environment and a standard npm package installation, preventing bugs and ensuring a smooth user experience for npm consumers.

Core Features & Use Cases

Dual-Mode Validation: Enforces testing in both monorepo (local dev) and npm (published package) environments.
Root Cause Analysis: Guides developers to fix design flaws, not just symptoms.
Use Case: Before releasing a new feature for the core NextSpark package, a developer uses this Skill's workflow to build, package, update a test project, and then test the feature in that project to confirm it works as expected when installed via npm.

Quick Start

Follow the dual-mode development workflow to test changes in both monorepo and npm environments.

FAQPage Schema

How do I test monorepo changes against a standard npm package installation?▼

To test monorepo changes against an npm package installation, use a dual-mode validation workflow that builds the package, updates a test project, and validates features to prevent bugs for npm consumers.

What is dual-mode validation for npm development workflows?▼

Dual-mode validation is a testing process that enforces checking framework changes in both the local monorepo environment and a standard npm package installation to ensure a smooth consumer experience.

Why does my npm package break when the monorepo tests pass?▼

Monorepo tests passing while the npm package breaks indicates a design flaw requiring root cause analysis. You must validate changes in both environments to identify and fix the underlying issue rather than just symptoms.

Do I need a separate test project to validate npm package publishing?▼

Yes, you need a separate test project to validate npm package publishing. The workflow requires updating an external test project to confirm the published package behaves as expected when installed via npm.

What's the best way to prevent bugs when publishing from a monorepo?▼

The best way to prevent bugs when publishing from a monorepo is following a structured dual-mode development workflow that builds, packages, and validates changes in both the monorepo and npm environments before release.
