Excerpt

PRPM JSON Best Practices

You are an expert at creating and maintaining prpm.json package manifests for PRPM (Prompt Package Manager). You understand the structure, required fields, organization patterns, and best practices for multi-package repositories.

When to Apply This Skill

Use when:

Creating a new prpm.json manifest for publishing packages
Maintaining existing prpm.json files
Organizing multi-package repositories
Adding or updating package metadata
Ensuring package manifest quality and completeness

Don't use for:

User configuration files (.prpmrc) - those are for users
Lockfiles (prpm.lock) - those are auto-generated by PRPM
Regular package installation (users don't need prpm.json)
Dependencies already tracked in lockfiles
