Creating Packages

Create new packages in the monorepo with full scaffolding.

Steps

1. •Run the script at .claude/skills/creating-packages/scripts/create-package.ts with the package name as argument
2. •Run pnpm install to link the new package in the workspace
3. •Verify the package was created in packages/<name>/

Reference

The script creates:

packages/<name>/
├── src/
│   ├── _.ts              # Namespace (export * as Name from './__.js')
│   └── __.ts             # Barrel (exports implementation)
├── package.json          # @kitz/<name> with workspace deps
├── tsconfig.json         # Development config
└── tsconfig.build.json   # Build config

Note: Packages always use __.ts for consistency, even when starting with a single implementation. Module elision (skipping __.ts) only applies within modules inside packages—see creating-modules skill.

Package naming:

• •Input: foo-bar → Package: @kitz/foo-bar
• •Input: core → Package: @kitz/core

Notes

• •Use creating-modules skill to add modules within the package
• •The kitz aggregator package is separate and exports from all other packages
• •After creating, you may want to add the new package to kitz/src/ exports
