Switch the project's package manager between npm, bun, and pnpm. Updates all config, scripts, documentation, CI workflows, and AI instructions. Use when initializing from template or switching package managers.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Switch this project's package manager to $ARGUMENTS.

If $ARGUMENTS is not exactly bun, pnpm, or npm, ask the user which package manager they want.

Command Mapping Reference

Detect the current package manager from AGENTS.md or package.json scripts. Use this table for all replacements:

Contextnpmbunpnpm
Install depsnpm installbun installpnpm install
Run scriptnpm run Xbun run Xpnpm run X
CI frozen installnpm cibun install --frozen-lockfilepnpm install --frozen-lockfile
Add depnpm install pkgbun add pkgpnpm add pkg
Add dev depnpm install -D pkgbun add -D pkgpnpm add -D pkg
Remove depnpm uninstall pkgbun remove pkgpnpm remove pkg
Auditnpm auditbun auditpnpm audit
Global installnpm install -g pkgbun install -g pkgpnpm add -g pkg
Execute binarynpxbunxpnpm dlx
Lock filepackage-lock.jsonbun.lockpnpm-lock.yaml

Step 1: Functional Config

package.json scripts

Read package.json. Replace the current PM's run command with the target PM's in all script values. For example, npm run typecheck becomes bun run typecheck.

tauri.conf.json

Read src-tauri/tauri.conf.json. Update beforeDevCommand and beforeBuildCommand.

GitHub Actions CI

Read .github/workflows/release.yml and apply the appropriate pattern:

Target: bun

  • Replace the Setup Node.js step with:
    - name: Setup Bun
  uses: oven-sh/setup-bun@v2
  • Replace npm ci with bun install --frozen-lockfile

Target: pnpm

  • Add a step before Setup Node.js:
    - name: Setup pnpm
  uses: pnpm/action-setup@v4
  • Change cache: 'npm' to cache: 'pnpm' in the setup-node step
  • Replace npm ci with pnpm install --frozen-lockfile

Target: npm

  • Ensure standard actions/setup-node@v4 with cache: 'npm'
  • Ensure npm ci for install step
  • Remove any pnpm/bun setup steps

Step 2: Lock File

  • Delete the old lock file (whichever of package-lock.json, bun.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml exists)
  • Run the target PM's install command to generate the new lock file

Step 3: AI Instructions & Claude Config

Update these files, replacing PM commands contextually:

  • AGENTS.md: Update rule 0 (the "Use npm only" line) to reflect the new PM. For example: 0. **Use bun only**: This project uses \bun`, NOT `npm`. Always use `bun install`, `bun run`, etc.`
  • .claude/skills/init/SKILL.md: Replace PM commands in verification/next-steps sections
  • .claude/skills/check/SKILL.md: Replace PM commands
  • .claude/agents/cleanup-analyzer.md: Replace PM commands
  • .claude/settings.local.json: Update Bash(npm ...) permission patterns to use the new PM (e.g. Bash(bun run format:*))

Step 4: Documentation

Use Grep to find all remaining references to the old PM across the codebase. Update every documentation file, making sentences read naturally — don't do blind find-replace on prose.

Key files to check:

  • README.md
  • docs/USING_THIS_TEMPLATE.md
  • docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
  • docs/SECURITY.md
  • All files under docs/developer/
  • scripts/prepare-release.js (help text)

Step 5: Verify

Run a final search for any remaining references to the old PM:

grep -rn "OLD_PM_NAME" --include="*.md" --include="*.json" --include="*.yml" --include="*.js" --include="*.ts" . | grep -v node_modules | grep -v ".lock"

Review any remaining hits — some are intentional (.gitignore entries, .cursorignore patterns listing all PM artifacts).

Important Rules

  • Do NOT change .gitignore or .cursorignore — these intentionally list artifacts for all PMs
  • Do NOT change references to node_modules/ — all three PMs use this directory
  • Preserve natural prose in docs — make sentences read correctly, don't just swap words
  • npx → bunx (bun) or pnpm dlx (pnpm)
  • If the target PM is already in use, inform the user and stop

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
