npm

A public online registry for JavaScript packages, which are reusable pieces of code. It provides package descriptions, versions, dependencies, licences, maintainers, and download statistics.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to search for packages, inspect their metadata and dependencies, review release histories, compare versions, and check download counts.
Why use it?
It saves you from checking several package pages manually when choosing or reviewing a dependency. You can inspect package history and basic maintenance signals in one place.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Per session 0 Skills are progressive disclosure: only the name and description are preloaded; the body loads when the skill is used.
When invoked 390 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

npm 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (adapters/npm.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

npm

Overview

JavaScript package registry at registry.npmjs.org. Public REST API for package search, metadata, versions, and download statistics.

Workflows

Find a package

  1. searchPackages(text) → browse objects[].package → pick name
  2. getPackage(package=name) → description, latest version, dependencies, license

Check package health

  1. getPackage(package) → latest version, maintainers, repository, timestamps
  2. getDownloads(package) → downloads, start, end
  3. getVersions(package) → full release history with dates

Compare versions

  1. getVersions(package) → all versions sorted newest-first with publish dates
  2. getPackage(package) → latest version dependencies and dist-tags

Operations

Operation Intent Key Input Key Output Notes
searchPackages find packages by keyword text name, version, description, score, downloads entry point, paginated via from/size
getPackage package summary package <- searchPackages.name name, description, latest deps, license, maintainers adapter-unwrapped summary
getVersions version history with dates package <- searchPackages.name versions [{version, date}], versionCount sorted newest-first
getDownloads weekly download stats package <- searchPackages.name downloads, start, end uses api.npmjs.org host

Quick Start

# Search for packages
openweb npm exec searchPackages '{"text": "express"}'

# Get package summary
openweb npm exec getPackage '{"package": "react"}'

# Get version history
openweb npm exec getVersions '{"package": "express"}'

# Get download stats
openweb npm exec getDownloads '{"package": "lodash"}'
Files

What ships with it

9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

npm is a skill published in the GitHub repository imoonkey/openweb (56 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 390 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
