This NPM Helper simplifies Node.js project management by automating common tasks like installing, updating, and running commands, saving developers time and effort.

Repository

Install on your platform

Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add curiouslearner/devkit --skill npm-helper -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Install target

Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned curiouslearner/devkit at 3fa45b7ab3.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The npm-helper skill allows you to install and manage Node Package Manager (npm) packages directly within an AI agent's environment. It can fetch package information, determine compatible versions, and execute the installation commands needed for a project. This simplifies dependency management and streamlines development workflows when working with JavaScript projects.

When to use it

  • Setting up a new Node.js project: Quickly install necessary dependencies like Express or React without manual command-line execution.
  • Updating existing packages: Easily update specific npm packages to their latest versions or desired releases.
  • Troubleshooting dependency conflicts: Identify and resolve issues related to package compatibility within a project.
  • Automating build processes: Integrate package installation into automated scripts for consistent deployments.

Key capabilities

  • Install npm packages
  • Determine compatible package versions
  • Execute npm commands

Example prompts

  • "Install the 'lodash' package."
  • "Update the 'express' package to version 4.18.2."
  • "What is the latest version of 'react'?"

Tips & gotchas

The agent needs access to a shell environment where npm commands can be executed. Ensure that Node.js and npm are already installed in the target environment for this skill to function correctly.
