npm

name	npm
description	Use when handling JavaScript package management and scripts, with pnpm as the default package manager.

npm (Use pnpm by default)

Use this skill for JavaScript/TypeScript dependency and script workflows.

Core Rules

• Prefer pnpm over npm for install, run, add, remove, and global tool actions.
• Only use npm if the user explicitly requires it.
• Keep lockfile/package-manager usage consistent in the same workspace.
• Avoid mixing package managers in one project unless migration is intentional.

Command Mapping

• npm install → pnpm install
• npm i <pkg> → pnpm add <pkg>
• npm uninstall <pkg> → pnpm remove <pkg>
• npm run <script> → pnpm <script> (or pnpm run <script>)
• npm i -g <pkg> → pnpm add -g <pkg>
• npx <cmd> → pnpm dlx <cmd>

Verification Checklist

• pnpm is available and version is confirmed.
• Commands executed with pnpm unless explicitly overridden.
• No unintended npm lockfile/tooling drift introduced.
