A skills template providing reusable Claude Code skill configurations for development workflows, designed as a starting point for custom skill creation.

Overview

npm-git-install is a utility skill from the Supercent Agent Skills collection (71 skills) that helps AI agents install npm packages directly from GitHub repositories. It covers installing packages from branches, tags, commits, and private repos, enabling dependency management beyond the npm registry.

Key Features

Direct GitHub Installation: Guides installing npm packages from GitHub URLs, supporting branches, tags, specific commits, and subdirectories
Private Repository Support: Covers authentication and token-based access for installing packages from private GitHub repositories
Version Pinning: Techniques for pinning dependencies to specific commits or tags for reproducible builds
Cross-Platform Support: Works across all AI agent platforms (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode)
TOON Format Integration: Compressed skill context auto-injected into prompts for quick reference during dependency setup

Who is this for?

Developers who need to install npm packages directly from GitHub (pre-release versions, forks, or unreleased fixes)
Teams managing internal packages hosted on GitHub rather than the npm registry
AI agent users who want quick guidance on the correct syntax for npm GitHub installs including monorepo subdirectories and authentication
