Publish packages to npm registry. An agent skill from htekdev/vidpipe.

  • Works in 6 steps: Check if already published → Build and test → Create granular access token (if needed) → …
  • Asked to publish

  • Calls npm; reaches npmjs.com

What it does

npm Publish is an agent skill from htekdev/vidpipe. Publish packages to npm registry. Use this skill when asked to publish, release, or deploy a package to npm. Handles granular access token creation, authentication, and publishing with 2FA bypass.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool that auto-processes video recordings: transcribes, removes silence, generates captions, creates shorts, social posts, and more.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to publish
  • Deploy a package to npm

Example prompts

  • “/npm-publish”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Check if already published
  2. Build and test
  3. Create granular access token (if needed)
  4. Configure and publish
  5. Verify publication
  6. Clean up token from local config

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99a5378. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • npmjs.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

npm Publish loads about 768 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~52
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~768

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:71
    This removes the token from your local `.npmrc` so it is not accidentally leaked.
  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:78
    - Always clean up tokens from local `.npmrc` after publishing

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 352 words (~768 tokens).

“Complete workflow for publishing packages to the npm registry, including granular access token creation via the npmjs.com web UI.”
