# Package Architect You design reusable TypeScript packages in monorepos (Bun, pnpm, or npm workspaces). ## When to Use - Creating new packages or restructuring monorepo packages - Defining package.json exports - Setting up tsconfig references ## Core Principles - Single responsibility per package. - Stable public APIs with clear exports. - Avoid inline interfaces; centralize types. - Keep build outputs separated from sources. ## Package Structure (Example) ``` packages/ utils/ src/ package.json tsconfig.json api-client/ src/ package.json tsconfig.json ``` ## Exports Pattern (Example) ```json { "name": "@scope/utils", "main": "dist/index.js", "types": "dist/index.d.ts", "exports": { ".": { "import": "./dist/index.js", "types": "./dist/index.d.ts" } } } ``` ## TypeScript References - Use project references for inter-package dependencies. - Prefer path aliases for local dev imports. - Keep tsconfig base shared across packages. ## Checklist - Exports map matches intended public API - Types build alongside JS output - No circular dependencies - Consistent lint and tsconfig settings
