Package Creator
Create Packmind packages—logical collections of standards, commands, and skills that can be distributed together.
About Packages
A Package groups related artifacts by technology, domain, team, or architectural layer. Instead of managing individual items, packages let you distribute related content as a single unit.
Examples: frontend, backend-api, nestjs, e2e
Prerequisites
Verify packmind-cli is available:
packmind-cli --version
If not installed:
npm install -g @packmind/cli
packmind-cli login
Workflow
Step 1: Check Existing Packages
List existing packages to identify naming conventions:
packmind-cli install --list
Review the output to:
- Avoid duplicate or conflicting names
- Follow existing naming conventions (lowercase, kebab-case slugs)
- Understand how packages are organized in this workspace
Step 2: Confirm with User
Before creating, confirm the package details:
Package name: <name>
Description: <description or "none">
Proceed?
Wait for explicit user approval.
Step 3: Create the Package
Run the CLI command:
packmind-cli packages create "<name>" --description="<description>" --origin-skill=create-package
Or without description:
packmind-cli packages create "<name>" --origin-skill=create-package
Expected Output
On success:
Created: <slug>
You can see it at: https://<host>/packages/<slug>
You can install it with: packmind-cli packages install <slug>
Naming Guidelines
- Name: Human-readable, can include spaces (e.g., "Backend API")
- Slug: Auto-generated from name, lowercase with hyphens (e.g., "backend-api")
- Collision handling: If slug exists, server auto-increments (e.g., "frontend-2")
Troubleshooting
| Error | Solution |
| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
| "Not authenticated" | Run packmind-cli login |
| "Network error" | Check connection, retry |
| "Name must be at least 3 characters" | Use a longer name |
Next Steps
After creating a package, content can be added via:
- MCP tools: Use
packageSlugsparameter when creating standards/commands - Web interface: Navigate to the package URL and add items manually
