pnpm

pnpm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from antfu/skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (1,176 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of pnpm, MIT.

A Node.js package manager for installing dependencies and running project commands. Dependencies are the external packages a project needs, and a workspace groups related packages in one repository.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install and update packages, run scripts, configure workspaces, manage dependency versions, and set up reproducible CI installs.
Why use it?
It uses strict dependency resolution to catch undeclared packages and provides workspace, lockfile, catalog, patch, and override settings for managing larger projects.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pnpm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 25d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pnpm is a fast, disk space efficient package manager. It uses a content-addressable store to deduplicate packages across all projects on a machine, and enforces strict dependency resolution by default, preventing phantom dependencies.

pnpm v12 is a Rust rewrite of v11: stable, and keeps v11's commands, flags, settings, and lockfile format — so most guidance here applies to both. A handful of v12 behaviors differ (git deps resolve via HTTPS, project-aware global bins, other package managers, packageImportMethod: auto hardlinks first on Linux, --resolution-only removed) — see best-practices-migration.

Configuration model (important): pnpm settings live in pnpm-workspace.yaml (and the global config.yaml) using camelCase keys. .npmrc is used only for authentication/registry credentials, and the pnpm field of package.json is no longer read. When working in a pnpm project, check pnpm-workspace.yaml for settings/workspace structure and .npmrc only for auth. Always use --frozen-lockfile (or pnpm ci) in CI.

The skill is based on pnpm 12.x, generated at 2026-09-25. It covers v11+v12 behavior (config split, isolated global packages, allowBuilds, pmOnFail, global virtual store, native release management, workspace task orchestration, and experimental Python/Cargo support) where current docs describe them.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
