Authoring Global Scripts

Authoring Global Scripts

Manage package scripts that apply to all packages in the monorepo.

Steps

Adding a Global Script

1. Add script to root package.json with _: prefix:

   {
     "scripts": {
       "_:build": "tsgo -p tsconfig.build.json",
       "_:check:types": "tsgo --noEmit"
     }
   }
   

2. Run the sync script at .claude/skills/authoring-global-scripts/scripts/sync-package-scripts.ts

Auditing for Inconsistencies

Run with --check flag to verify all packages are in sync without modifying:

tsx .claude/skills/authoring-global-scripts/scripts/sync-package-scripts.ts --check

Reference

Convention

The _: prefix marks scripts as "global templates". The sync script:

• Strips the prefix when copying to packages
• Replaces all package scripts (packages should not have custom scripts)
• Warns about extra scripts in packages that aren't in the template

Relative Paths

Relative paths like ../../oxlint.json are preserved as-is. They're relative from each package directory, so ../../ correctly points to the monorepo root from packages/*/.

Notes

• Packages should NOT have custom scripts - all scripts come from the global template
• If a package needs a unique script, reconsider whether it belongs as a global script
• Run audit (--check) to catch manual edits that broke the pattern
