Skill: Monorepo vs Single-App Targeting

Small instruction set for selecting the correct app package and running upgrade commands in the right scope.

Quick Commands

APP_DIR=apps/mobile
npm pkg get dependencies.react-native devDependencies.react-native --prefix "$APP_DIR"

Rules

1. Pick one target app package before any upgrade command.
2. Run all app-specific commands with --prefix "$APP_DIR" or from cd "$APP_DIR".
3. Use APP_DIR=. for single-package repos.
4. Never apply diffs to workspace root when RN app lives in a subpackage.

Verification

• react-native is present in APP_DIR/package.json.
• ios/ and android/ paths used for build/pods are under APP_DIR.
