Publishing TypeScript Packages (Constructive Standard)

Publish TypeScript packages to npm using makage for builds and lerna for versioning. This covers the dist-folder publishing pattern that prevents tree-shaking into weird import paths.

When to Apply

Use this skill when:

• Building TypeScript packages for npm publishing
• Configuring makage for package builds
• Running lerna version and publish workflows
• Setting up the dist-folder publishing pattern

Why Dist-Folder Publishing?

Constructive publishes from the dist/ folder to:

• Prevent consumers from importing internal paths (my-pkg/src/internal)
• Ensure clean package structure on npm
• Keep source files out of published package
• Maintain consistent import paths
