Format code with pnpm

Use this skill any time formatting is required in the TypeSpec repo. Do not assume formatting happens automatically; always run pnpm format following this guidance.

Preconditions

  • Command must run from the repository root (where package.json and pnpm-workspace.yaml live).
  • Dependencies must be installed.

Steps

  1. Confirm you are at the repo root.
  2. If node_modules are missing or pnpm complains about missing packages, run:
    pnpm install
    
  3. Run the formatter:
    pnpm format
    
  4. If the command fails with ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND, you are not at the repo root. cd to the root and retry.
  5. If pnpm format exits with a non-zero code but prints a list of changed files, re-run pnpm format once to ensure a clean exit.

Notes

  • Do not cancel the command; formatting may take about a minute.
