arch-tsdown-monorepo is a pnpm monorepo starter for TypeScript libraries (based on hairyf/starter-monorepo). Each package uses tsdown for building. It provides shared tooling (ESLint, Vitest, TypeScript), pnpm catalogs for versions, workspace dependencies, and optional npm Trusted Publisher for CI-based releases.
The skill is based on hairyf/starter-monorepo, generated at 2026-02-02.
Recommended practices:
- Use pnpm catalogs for devDependency versions; reference with
catalog:cli,catalog:testing, etc. - Use
workspace:*for inter-package dependencies; publish once manually, then use npm Trusted Publisher for CI releases. - Run build/typecheck/test from root with
pnpm -r run ...and a single Vitest config with projects (root + packages/*).
