Script Commands

Reference Repositories

  • jsrepo : Package distribution for monorepos
  • WXT : Browser extension framework (used by tab-manager app)

Upstream Grounding

When jsrepo configuration, publish behavior, block layout, or package distribution affects correctness, use source-backed grounding before relying on memory. If DeepWiki MCP is available, ask a narrow question against jsrepojs/jsrepo; for browser-extension build behavior, prefer the wxt skill, or ask against wxt-dev/wxt if this skill owns the script or package boundary. If DeepWiki is unavailable or the repo is not indexed, use upstream source or official docs directly. Treat DeepWiki as orientation, then verify decisive details against local package scripts, config files, installed types, generated output, or official docs before changing code.

Skip DeepWiki for repo-local Bun script conventions already documented below.

The monorepo uses consistent script naming conventions:

When to Apply This Skill

Use this pattern when you need to:

  • Run formatting, linting, or type-check scripts in this monorepo.
  • Choose between auto-fix commands and :check CI-only variants.
  • Verify final changes with the repo-standard bun typecheck workflow.
  • Scaffold a new package in packages/.

| Command | Purpose | When to use | | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | bun format | Fix formatting (biome) | Development | | bun format:check | Check formatting | CI | | bun lint | Fix lint issues (biome) | Development | | bun lint:check | Check lint issues | CI | | bun typecheck | Type checking (tsc, svelte-check, astro check) | Both | | bun test | Run unit tests (*.test.ts only) | Both | | bun bench | Run benchmarks (*.bench.ts; reports, no assertions) | Manual |

Convention

  • No suffix = fix (modifies files)
  • :check suffix = check only (for CI, no modifications)
  • typecheck alone = type checking (separate concern, cannot auto-fix)
  • test runs only *.test.ts; bench runs only *.bench.ts. A file is one or the other : never both. Benchmarks print reports; tests assert.

Dev Scripts

Non-Tauri apps use a single dev script that runs the underlying tool directly (vite dev, astro dev, wrangler dev, wxt). Tauri desktop apps (honeycrisp, whispering, matter) have two dev surfaces and name them explicitly: dev launches the desktop shell (aliasing dev:desktop), and dev:web runs Vite alone, which each app's tauri.conf.json invokes as its beforeDevCommand. The suffix convention applies primarily to database commands:

| Script | Meaning | | --- | --- | | dev | The default local workflow. May still require Infisical login for app secrets (e.g. API keys), but only ever talks to local infrastructure at runtime. | | dev:web | Tauri apps: the Vite dev server alone, no desktop shell. Invoked by tauri.conf.json as beforeDevCommand. | | dev:desktop | Tauri apps: launches the native desktop app (tauri dev). dev aliases this. | | db:*:local | Runs against local Postgres. Works without Infisical login. | | db:*:remote | Wraps with infisical run --env=prod. Production data; treat as admin. |

There is no dev:remote. Production data is reached only through :remote db scripts and deploy, never through a development server.

CLI (epicenter)

From the monorepo root, bun epicenter runs the local CLI against localhost:8787:

bun epicenter start playground/opensidian-e2e --verbose
bun epicenter list files -C playground/opensidian-e2e

The bare epicenter command (global install) defaults to api.epicenter.so. Config files read process.env.EPICENTER_SERVER with a prod fallback:the root script sets it automatically.

After Completing Code Changes

Run type checking to verify:

bun typecheck

This runs bun run --filter '*' typecheck which executes the typecheck script in each package (e.g., tsc --noEmit, svelte-check).

New Package Boilerplate

When creating a new package in packages/, follow this exact structure.

package.json

{
  "name": "@epicenter/<package-name>",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "exports": {
    ".": "./src/index.ts"
  },
  "license": "AGPL-3.0-or-later",
  "scripts": {
    "typecheck": "tsc --noEmit"
  },
  "dependencies": {},
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/bun": "catalog:",
    "typescript": "catalog:"
  }
}

Key conventions:

  • exports only, no main/types: modern resolvers ignore main/types when exports is present. The entry point is ./src/index.ts; there is no build step, consumers import the source directly.
  • Use "workspace:*" for internal deps (e.g., "@epicenter/workspace": "workspace:*").
  • Use "catalog:" for shared versions managed in the root package.json catalogs.
  • peerDependencies for packages consumers must also install (e.g., yjs).
  • license: default AGPL-3.0-or-later (everything Epicenter ships or runs). Use MIT only if the package is meant for third-party developers to embed in their own software (the toolkit). See docs/licensing/licensing-strategy.md; bun run check:licenses fails if an MIT package can reach an AGPL one.

tsconfig.json

A leaf config picks a tier and adds nothing that repeats a base. For a Bun library:

{
  "extends": "../../tsconfig.base.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["bun"],
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true
  }
}

A Svelte or browser library extends ../../tsconfig.dom.json instead. For all eight leaf tiers, the never-redeclare list, and the module strategy, see the tsconfig skill.

After creating the package, run bun install from the repo root to register it in the workspace.
