node

node is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from thewolffish/wolffish-app. It costs 9 tokens per session (831 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A Node.js runtime and npm package manager setup for coding-agent tasks. Node.js runs JavaScript outside a web browser, and npm installs JavaScript packages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run Node.js programs and install or manage npm dependencies.
Why use it?
It checks whether a usable Node.js version is available and provides a managed installation path when it is not.

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 B, and why

node scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (plugin/index.mjs), 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.

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

What it actually says

Node.js

Usage

Use node_check to verify a usable Node.js (24+) is available and get the version. If not, call node_install (requires user approval) — and trust it.

node_install is the default and needs no admin rights: it reuses an existing global Node ≥24 if one is present, and otherwise downloads the official no-root Node into ~/.wolffish/bin. No package manager, no password prompt. This is the same managed-first policy the python capability uses, so it works the same on a fresh machine with nothing pre-installed.

node_install_system is optional and only for when the user explicitly wants a globally visible Node in their own terminal. It installs system-wide via the OS (Homebrew / official MSI+UAC / apt|dnf+sudo) and prompts once for the admin password; if elevation is declined or unavailable, it falls back to the no-root copy so the user is never left stuck. Prefer node_install unless asked otherwise.

Do NOT install Node yourself with raw shell_exec sudo apt install nodejs (or pkexec/brew/winget/msiexec). Use the tools above — they route through the shared password session and the approval gate. If one returns a permission or "password prompt cancelled" error, surface it; that error is deterministic, so don't retry the same command.

Once installed, use the shell_exec tool for node, npm, and npx commands.

Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.

node is a skill published in the GitHub repository thewolffish/wolffish-app (5 stars, last pushed 22d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 831 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
