Can I use this skill to migrate from npm or Yarn?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for removing legacy lockfiles and transitioning projects to Bun while maintaining full package.json compatibility.

Why is Bun's package manager preferred over npm?

Bun is significantly faster due to its binary lockfile format and parallelized architecture, often installing dependencies up to 20x faster than traditional tools.

How does it handle production deployments?

The skill includes best practices for CI/CD, such as using the --frozen-lockfile flag to ensure reproducible builds and --production to skip development dependencies.

Does this skill support monorepos?

Absolutely. It provides detailed guidance on configuring Bun workspaces and using the --filter flag to run scripts across specific packages in a monorepo.
