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.
Configuration model (important): pnpm settings now 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 10.x, generated at 2026-06-22. It also covers v11 behavior changes (config split, isolated global packages,
allowBuilds,pmOnFail, global virtual store) where current docs describe them.

Node.js package manager with strict dependency resolution. Use when running pnpm specific commands, configuring workspaces via pnpm-workspace.yaml, or managing dependencies with catalogs, patches, overrides, config dependencies, or the global virtual store.
