How does it handle different rules for apps and libraries?

It supports partitioned version groups, allowing you to define strict rules for shared internal libraries while permitting flexible versioning or ignoring individual applications.

What is the Syncpack Version Groups skill?

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code that helps developers configure and manage advanced dependency policies in monorepos using the Syncpack tool.

Can I ban specific dependencies using this skill?

Yes, the skill includes patterns for the isBanned property, allowing you to prevent specific packages like moment or request from being used in your projects.

Does this skill support workspace protocols?

Yes, it includes specific configurations for handling workspace:* and other local dependency types common in modern managers like PNPM, Yarn, and NPM.

Developer Tools

Manages complex dependency versioning policies in monorepos by defining version groups, pinning specific versions, and banning problematic packages.

About

This skill empowers developers to maintain strict dependency consistency across large monorepos by leveraging Syncpack's advanced version group features. It provides Claude with the specialized knowledge to configure partitioned version policies, handle scoped package ownership, and enforce single-version rules or framework-specific pinning. Whether you are trying to ban insecure packages, ignore specific workspace protocols, or reconcile mismatches across multiple apps and libraries, this skill provides the implementation patterns and CLI commands necessary to keep your dependency tree healthy and professional.

Key Features

Advanced version group partitioning based on package name, type, and location
Automated version policy enforcement including highestSemver and pinned versions
Security-focused dependency management for banning deprecated or vulnerable packages
Support for monorepo-specific protocols like workspace: and local resolutions
Context-aware CLI command execution for listing and fixing version mismatches
66 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Enforcing a Single Version Policy across a complex PNPM or Yarn monorepo
Pinning core framework versions like React or TypeScript to ensure cross-package compatibility
Banning specific libraries and recommending safer alternatives during code refactoring
