Can I force a specific package manager globally?

Yes, you can set a global preference in ~/.claude/package-manager.json or by setting the CLAUDE_PACKAGE_MANAGER environment variable.

How do I see which package manager Claude is currently using?

You can run the detection script with the --detect flag to see the current results and the reason for the selection.

Which package managers are supported by this skill?

This skill supports all major JavaScript package managers including npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun.

Does this skill work with pnpm workspaces?

Yes, by detecting the pnpm-lock.yaml or project-level configuration, it ensures pnpm is utilized for all related commands.

How does the detection priority work?

It follows a specific order: Environment variables first, followed by project-specific config, the packageManager field in package.json, the presence of lock files, global configuration, and finally a default fallback.
