--- name: npm description: Use npm for package install, version inspection, dist-tags, and safe publish flows. Use when working on OpenClaw or ClawHub package releases, validating published versions, or handling npm auth/OTP publishing. metadata: { "openclaw": { "emoji": "📦", "requires": { "bins": ["npm"] }, "install": [ { "id": "brew", "kind": "brew", "formula": "node", "bins": ["npm"], "label": "Install Node.js + npm (brew)", }, { "id": "apt", "kind": "apt", "package": "npm", "bins": ["npm"], "label": "Install npm (apt)", }, ], }, } --- # npm Use this skill for npm package operations with release-safe defaults. ## Scope - OpenClaw packages in this monorepo (core + plugins) - ClawHub CLI package/release checks when npm is involved - npm publish, dist-tag, and version verification ## Guardrails - Never publish from repo root unless explicitly requested for `openclaw`. - For plugin-only releases, publish only changed plugins and keep `openclaw` untouched. - For beta tags, publish matching beta versions (for example `2026.2.15-beta.1`) with `--tag beta`. - Use `npm view version --userconfig "$(mktemp)"` for read-only verification. - If OTP is required, fetch it through the `1password` skill in tmux before publish. ## Quick Checks ```bash npm --version npm whoami npm view openclaw version --userconfig "$(mktemp)" ``` ## OpenClaw Release-safe Flow 1. Verify target package and local version: ```bash npm view version --userconfig "$(mktemp)" node -p "require('./package.json').version" ``` 2. Publish from package directory only: ```bash cd npm publish --access public --otp="" ``` 3. Verify published version: ```bash npm view version --userconfig "$(mktemp)" ``` 4. For beta releases: ```bash npm publish --access public --tag beta --otp="" ``` ## ClawHub Interop - Use npm only for ClawHub package version/auth concerns. - Use `clawhub` CLI for skill search/install/update/publish workflows. - If both are needed: publish npm package first, then run `clawhub` publish/update commands. ## Useful Commands ```bash # Inspect package metadata npm view dist-tags --json --userconfig "$(mktemp)" npm view versions --json --userconfig "$(mktemp)" # Manage dist-tags npm dist-tag add @ beta npm dist-tag add @ latest # Verify current auth context npm whoami npm profile get --json ```
