setup-pm

setup-pm is a command for Claude Code from raja21068/AutoResearch. It costs 4 tokens per session (402 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of setup-pm, MIT.

A command that chooses which package manager a JavaScript project uses, such as npm, pnpm, yarn, or bun.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure the choice through an environment variable or project settings, or let it infer the choice from package.json and lock files.
Why use it?
It prevents inconsistent install and run commands by recording or detecting one package-manager preference.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution. Also seen: agent in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node scripts/setup-package-manager.js --detect.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/raja21068/AutoResearch

npx agentmods add commands/raja21068/autoresearch/setup-pm

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

setup-pm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to setup-pm — 2 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
