EGC: Command for Claude Code

Setup Package Manager Command

Configure your preferred package manager: $ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Set up package manager preference for the project or globally.

Detection Order

1. Environment variable: EGC_PACKAGE_MANAGER (the old GEMINI_PACKAGE_MANAGER still counts)
2. Project config: .egc/package-manager.json (an old .gemini/package-manager.json is still read)
3. package.json: packageManager field
4. Lock file: Auto-detect from lock files
5. Global config: package-manager.json in the EGC directory of the active tool (or in the directory EGC_DIR names when it is set)
6. Fallback: First available

Configuration Options

Option 1: Environment Variable

export EGC_PACKAGE_MANAGER=pnpm

Option 2: Project Config

# Create .egc/package-manager.json
echo '{"packageManager": "pnpm"}' > .egc/package-manager.json

Option 3: package.json

{
  "packageManager": "[email protected]"
}

Option 4: Global Config

Create package-manager.json in the EGC directory of the active tool (the directory EGC_DIR names when it is set; otherwise the one EGC uses for the tool in session, where its sessions and learned skills live):

{
  "packageManager": "yarn"
}
