Node.js package manager with strict dependency resolution. Use when running pnpm specific commands, configuring workspaces, or managing dependencies with catalogs, patches, or overrides.

Executes implementation plans in current session by dispatching fresh subagents per independent task, with two-stage reviews: spec compliance then code quality.
Dispatches parallel agents to independently tackle 2+ tasks like separate test failures or subsystems without shared state or dependencies.
pnpm is a fast, disk space efficient package manager. It uses a
content-addressable store to deduplicate packages across all projects on a
machine, saving significant disk space. pnpm enforces strict dependency
resolution by default, preventing phantom dependencies. Configuration should
preferably be placed in pnpm-workspace.yaml for pnpm-specific settings.
Important: When working with pnpm projects, agents should check for
pnpm-workspace.yaml and .npmrc files to understand workspace structure and
configuration. Always use --frozen-lockfile in CI environments.
The skill is based on pnpm 10.x, generated at 2026-01-28.
