Use when working in repositories with multiple subprojects (monorepos) where commands need to run from specific directories - prevents directory confusion, redundant cd commands, and ensures commands execute from correct locations.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Working in Monorepos ## Overview Helps Claude work effectively in monorepo environments by ensuring commands always execute from the correct location using absolute paths. **Core principle:** Bash shell state is not guaranteed between commands. Always use absolute paths. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Repository contains multiple subprojects (ruby/, cli/, components/\*, etc.) - Commands must run from specific directories - Working across multiple subprojects in one session Don't use for: - Single-project repositories - Repositories where all commands run from root ## Use Absolute Paths Run each command in a monorepo subproject with an absolute `cd` prefix: ✅ **CORRECT:** ```bash cd /Users/josh/workspace/schemaflow/ruby && bundle exec rspec cd /Users/josh/workspace/schemaflow/cli && npm test ``` ❌ **WRONG:** ```bash # Relative paths (assumes current directory) cd ruby && bundle exec rspec # No cd prefix (assumes location) bundle exec rspec # Chaining cd (compounds errors) cd ruby && cd ruby && rspec ``` **Why:** You cannot rely on shell state. Absolute paths guarantee correct execution location regardless of where the shell currently is. …

How to install
mdr add technicalpickles/pickled-claude-plugins/working-in-monorepos@sha256:a0fdd3643e9b7248The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.8d13327, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
