About package-architect
A skill for structuring reusable TypeScript packages in Bun, pnpm, or npm workspaces. It guides package boundaries, public exports, TypeScript references, and build organization for monorepos.
Key features
- 01Structure reusable TypeScript packages
- 02Define stable package exports
- 03Configure TypeScript project references
- 04Separate build outputs from source
- 05Check dependency and configuration consistency
Use cases
- 01Creating a package in a monorepo
- 02Restructuring workspace packages
- 03Setting up package exports and TypeScript references

Details
From the project READMEPackage Architect
Design reusable TypeScript packages in monorepos (Bun, pnpm, or npm workspaces).
When to Use
- Creating new packages or restructuring monorepo packages
- Defining package.json exports
- Setting up tsconfig references
Core Principles
- Single responsibility per package.
- Stable public APIs with clear exports.
- Avoid inline interfaces; centralize types.
- Keep build outputs separated from sources.
Package Structure (Example)
packages/
utils/
src/
package.json
tsconfig.json
api-client/
src/
package.json
tsconfig.json
Exports Pattern (Example)
{
"name": "@scope/utils",
"main": "dist/index.js",
"types": "dist/index.d.ts",
"exports": {
".": {
"import": "./dist/index.js",
"types": "./dist/index.d.ts"
}
}
}
TypeScript References
- Use project references for inter-package dependencies.
- Prefer path aliases for local dev imports.
- Keep tsconfig base shared across packages.
Checklist
- Exports map matches intended public API
- Types build alongside JS output
- No circular dependencies
- Consistent lint and tsconfig settings
