List npm Package Content
This skill lists the exact contents of an npm package tarball - the same files that would be uploaded to npm and downloaded by users.
Understanding Package Contents
The files included are determined by:
-
filesfield inpackage.json- explicit allowlist of files/directories -
.npmignore- files to exclude (if present) -
.gitignore- used if no.npmignoreexists -
Always included:
package.json,README,LICENSE,CHANGELOG -
Always excluded:
.git,node_modules,.npmrc, etc.
