Packages

Overview

This monorepo declares its workspaces in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

packages:
  - 'packages/*'
  - 'playgrounds/*'

There is exactly one published package — svelte — under packages/svelte. Everything else (playgrounds, the benchmarking/ directory, documentation/) is repo-local tooling and not published.

Package	Path	Published as	Purpose
Svelte	packages/svelte	svelte	The compiler, runtimes, and runtime utility modules.
Sandbox playground (not published)	playgrounds/*	—	Local sandboxes used to develop and reproduce issues.
Benchmarks (not published)	benchmarking/	—	Microbenchmark harness driving pnpm bench.
Docs (not published)	documentation/docs/	—	Markdown that ships to https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte.

If you're new to the codebase, start at the svelte package — that's where 99% of the work happens.
