Project install by default; add -g for ~/.claude/skills/.

GitHub CLI

Project scope by default; add --scope user for a personal install. Needs GitHub CLI 2.90.0 or later (public preview).

Manual copy

Extract version, dependencies, and metadata from package.json files.

  • Works in 4 steps: Read package.json → Parse JSON → Extract Fields → …
  • Needing project version
  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, Instructions, Error Handling and Examples, plus 2 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Parse Package JSON is an agent skill from maslennikov-ig/claude-code-orchestrator-kit. Extract version, dependencies, and metadata from package.json files. Use when needing project version, dependency list, or package metadata for releases, audits, or reports.

Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `schema.json`).

It works with npm. The repository describes itself as: 🎼 Turn Claude Code into a production powerhouse. 33+ AI agents automate bug fixing, security scanning, and dependency management. 19 slash commands, 6 MCP configs (600-5000…

When your agent uses it

  • Needing project version
  • Dependency list
  • Package metadata for releases

Example prompts

  • “/parse-package-json”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read package.json
  2. Parse JSON
  3. Extract Fields
  4. Return Structured Data

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8c3b576. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Parse Package JSON loads about 809 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 263 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~809

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 263 words (~809 tokens).

“Extract structured data from package.json files for version management, dependency auditing, and metadata retrieval.”
