What it does
Package Health is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Check a package's health before you depend on it — npm and PyPI registry APIs via keyless curl: downloads, release recency, maintenance signals, and the dependency-decision read. Use when asked is this npm package maintained, check this PyPI library before we adopt it, compare these two packages, or is this dependency abandoned. Produces the health read with the signals interpreted (not just listed), the numbers with their commands, and the adopt/avoid/vendor recommendation framing.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked is this npm package maintained
- Check this PyPI library before we adopt it
- Compare these two packages
- Is this dependency abandoned

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. 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:
curl
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:
registry.npmjs.orgapi.npmjs.orgpypi.orgpypistats.org
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
Package Health loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 623 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Check a package's health before you depend on it — npm and PyPI registry APIs via keyless curl: downloads, release recency, maintenance signals, and the dependency-decision read.

Package Health Skill
Adding a dependency is hiring code you'll never interview — and the registries publish the résumé keylessly: last release date, download trajectory, version cadence, maintainer count. This skill pulls the signals for npm and PyPI over plain curl and does the part the raw numbers don't: interpretation. A package with no release in three years is abandoned or finished — and which one it is depends on what the package does. The output is a read, not a dashboard.
What This Skill Produces
- The health read — maintained / stable-and-done / drifting / abandoned — with the reasoning
- The signals table — latest version + date, download scale, release cadence, deprecation flags
- The comparison — for adoption decisions between candidates, same signals side by side
- The commands — every number's curl, rerunnable
Required Inputs
Ask for these if not provided:
- The package(s) and ecosystem — npm or PyPI; exact names (typosquats are a real hazard — the exact-name check is part of the job, and a near-miss name is a 🔴 finding, not a typo to auto-correct)
- The role it would play — a core dependency, a dev tool, a one-function utility: the stakes calibrate the read ("finished" is fine for a slugify; concerning for a crypto library)
- The runtime context — versions/platforms that matter for compatibility checking
Framework: The Signals and the Reads
- npm calls: latest:
curl -s "https://registry.npmjs.org/express/latest"(version, dependencies, deprecation notices) · full metadata:curl -s "https://registry.npmjs.org/express"(timeobject = the whole release history — cadence lives here;maintainers) · downloads:curl -s "https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-month/express". - PyPI calls:
curl -s "https://pypi.org/pypi/requests/json"—info(version, requires_python, project_urls, yanked flags),releases(the dated history). Downloads for PyPI live athttps://pypistats.org/api/packages/<name>/recent(keyless). - Interpret age against purpose: no-release-in-3-years = abandoned for an API client (upstream APIs moved), plausibly finished for a pure algorithm. The read must say which and why — this rule is the skill's whole value over a stats page.
- The signal cluster beats any single number: healthy = recent releases + steady cadence + real downloads + active repo (chain to github-repo-vitals via the metadata's repository URL). Warning shapes: downloads huge but releases stopped (the ecosystem is riding a corpse — someone will fork; watch which), single maintainer + critical role (bus-factor flag, not a disqualifier), deprecation notice in the registry (the maintainer's own verdict — believe them).
- The decision framing, not the decision: adopt / adopt-and-monitor / vendor-the-function (for one-function utilities, fifty lines beats a dependency) / avoid — recommended with reasoning, stakes-calibrated; security auditing is its own discipline and gets named as out of scope rather than faked.

Output Format
Package Health: [name] ([ecosystem])
The read: [maintained / stable-and-done / drifting / abandoned] — [two sentences of reasoning].
| Signal | Value | Read |
|---|---|---|
| [Version + date · release cadence · downloads/month · maintainers · deprecation/yank flags] |
[Comparison mode: candidates × signals, same table, verdict per role]
Recommendation frame: [adopt / monitor / vendor / avoid — with the stakes reasoning]
Source: [registry] APIs · as of [date] · rerun: [the curls]
Registry signals, not a security audit — that's a separate discipline.
Quality Checks
- The exact package name was verified — near-miss names flagged, never auto-corrected
- The read interprets age against the package's purpose, not against a universal freshness bar
- Warning shapes (riding-a-corpse, bus-factor, registry deprecation) are checked
- The repo-vitals chain is offered when the registry signals are ambiguous
- Security audit is scoped out explicitly, not implied
Anti-Patterns
- Do not present a stats dump as a health check — the read is the product
- Do not treat "old" as "dead" without the purpose test — finished software exists
- Do not auto-correct package names — typosquats are the attack this check can catch
- Do not extrapolate download counts into quality — popularity is a signal about forks and eyes, not correctness
- Do not answer from memory — versions and deprecations are live facts; fetch or hand over the commands
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Is this npm package maintained?"
- "Check this PyPI library before we adopt it."
- "Compare these two packages."
- "Is this dependency abandoned?"
