What is the primary purpose of the Local Package skill?

It allows developers to link and test internal @clipboard-health packages locally across different repositories without the need to publish them to a registry.

Does this skill require external tools?

Yes, it requires the @clipboard-health/cli and leverages yalc under the hood to manage local package versions effectively.

How do I revert package changes after testing is complete?

You can use the unlink command provided by the skill to restore the original published package versions in your package.json file.

How does it handle package builds?

The skill automatically locates the package in sibling directories and triggers an Nx build before pushing the local version to the consuming repository.

What should I do if my local changes are not reflecting after linking?

Ensure you run a fresh npm install in the consuming repository after linking to properly pull in the local yalc version of the package.

Developer Tools

Manages local linking and unlinking of internal packages across repositories for streamlined multi-repo development.

The Local Package skill facilitates seamless cross-repository development by automating the linking of internal @clipboard-health packages. By wrapping the yalc tool within the custom cbh CLI, it allows developers to test changes in sibling repositories instantly without the need for publishing to a registry. This ensures that package updates are validated in real-world consuming environments before they are finalized, preventing integration issues and speeding up the development lifecycle.
