pnpm is a fast, disk space efficient package manager. 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. Configuration should preferably be placed in for pnpm-specific settings.
pnpm-workspace.yamlImportant: When working with pnpm projects, agents should check for and files to understand workspace structure and configuration. Always use in CI environments.
