What Are the Dependencies for k-skill? Complete Monorepo Dependency Guide

k-skill uses npm workspaces with zero runtime dependencies at the root level; each skill package declares its own dependencies, with browser-automation skills relying on playwright-core and the proxy server using fastify.

The k-skill repository by NomaDamas is a monorepo containing dozens of independent skill packages for automating Korean public services. Unlike typical Node.js projects, k-skill's root package.json contains no runtime dependencies—only workspace configuration and development tooling. This article maps every runtime dependency across the repository, organized by package, with direct source file references.

How k-skill Manages Dependencies

k-skill follows an npm workspaces architecture. This means:

• The root package.json defines only workspaces and dev-tools like @changesets/cli, typescript, and @types/node
• Each package in packages/ maintains its own dependencies and optionalDependencies
• Cross-package dependencies use workspace references (e.g., k-skill-browser-runtime@^0.4.0)

This design keeps individual skills lightweight while allowing shared runtime code.

Core Workspace Packages and Their Dependencies

k-skill-proxy: HTTP Server Runtime

The proxy server uses Fastify as its web framework.

Dependency	Version	Purpose
fastify	^5.10.0	Lightweight HTTP server

Source: [packages/k-skill-proxy/package.json](https://github.com/NomaDamas/k-skill/blob/main/packages/k-skill-proxy/package.json)

---

k-skill-browser-runtime: Browser Automation Core

This is the foundational runtime for all browser-based skills. It declares optional dependencies for Playwright implementations.

Dependency	Version	Type	Purpose
playwright-core	>=1.40.0	optionalDependencies	Standard browser automation
rebrowser-playwright	>=1.40.0	optionalDependencies	Rebrowser-flavored Playwright for stealth

Source: [packages/k-skill-browser-runtime/package.json](https://github.com/NomaDamas/k-skill/blob/main/packages/k-skill-browser-runtime/package.json)

Note: These are optional because consuming packages must explicitly install one Playwright variant.

k-skill-cli: Pure CLI Wrapper

No dependencies. This package serves only as an entry point wrapper.

Source: [packages/k-skill-cli/package.json](https://github.com/NomaDamas/k-skill/blob/main/packages/k-skill-cli/package.json)

This package pulls in specialized third-party libraries:

Dependency	Version	Purpose
korean-stroke	^1.1.5	Korean character stroke calculation
namefyi	^0.1.2	Name analysis utilities
saju-fortune	^0.2.0	Saju (four pillars) fortune calculation

Source: [packages/naming-house/package.json](https://github.com/NomaDamas/k-skill/blob/main/packages/naming-house/package.json)

k-skill-rhwp: Hangul Word Processor Support

Dependency	Version	Purpose
@rhwp/core	^0.7.3	WebAssembly wrapper for HWP files

Source: [packages/k-skill-rhwp/package.json](https://github.com/NomaDamas/k-skill/blob/main/packages/k-skill-rhwp/package.json)

---

Skill Packages with Zero Dependencies

Many skills require no npm packages, relying solely on Node.js core or external public APIs:

Package	Description
k-lotto	Public lottery API client
used-car-price-search	Vehicle price lookup
saju-fortune	Fortune calculation (when used standalone)
public-restroom-nearby	Public facility locator
parking-lot-search	Parking information search

These packages contain only source code with dependencies: {} in their package.json files.

Key Dependency Files in k-skill

File Path	What It Defines
package.json (root)	Workspace layout, dev-tools only
packages/k-skill-proxy/package.json	Fastify HTTP server dependency
packages/k-skill-browser-runtime/package.json	Optional Playwright variants

Summary

• Root package.json declares zero runtime dependencies for k-skill—only workspace configuration and build tools
• Browser-automation skills depend on k-skill-browser-runtime and playwright-core
• HTTP proxy server (k-skill-proxy) uses fastify@^5.10.0
• Domain-specific packages pull specialized libraries like @rhwp/core for HWP files or korean-stroke for name utilities
• Many skills ship with no dependencies, using only Node.js core or public HTTP APIs
• All dependency versions are locked via the root lockfile when using npm ci

Frequently Asked Questions

Does k-skill have any dependencies at the root level?

No. The root package.json only defines workspaces and development tools like typescript and @changesets/cli. All runtime dependencies are declared per-package in the packages/ directory.

Which k-skill packages require Playwright?

k-skill-browser-runtime optionally supports playwright-core and rebrowser-playwright. Consuming packages like yebigun-training, hipass-receipt, and ev-subsidy-status explicitly depend on playwright-core@^1.52.0 for browser automation.

How do I install dependencies for a single skill without the entire monorepo?

Navigate to the specific package directory and run npm install. For zero-dependency packages like k-lotto, this completes instantly. For browser-based skills, this pulls playwright-core and the browser runtime automatically.

What is @rhwp/core used for in k-skill?

@rhwp/core@^0.7.3 is a WebAssembly-based library for reading and writing Hangul Word Processor (HWP) files, as used by the k-skill-rhwp package for Korean government document automation.
