What it does
Pnpm is an agent skill from JetBrains/skills, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Node.js package manager with strict dependency resolution. Use when running pnpm specific commands, configuring workspaces, or managing dependencies with catalogs, patches, or overrides.
Its SKILL.md is about 740 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 15 other files, including reference files (for example `GENERATION.md`, `references/best-practices-ci.md` and `references/best-practices-migration.md`).
It sits in Development, covering Monorepo tooling. It works with pnpm and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: Curated agent skills collection verified by JetBrains.
When your agent uses it
- Running pnpm specific commands
- Configuring workspaces
- Managing dependencies with catalogs
Example prompts
- “/pnpm”
Requirements
- Node.js
- Docker
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e0f258b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pnpm loads about 742 tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 217 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check: warnings
The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 217 words (~742 tokens).

It uses a content-addressable store to deduplicate packages across all projects on a machine, saving significant disk space. pnpm enforces strict dependency resolution by default, preventing phantom dependencies.
