SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ensure publish-ready npm packages by enforcing a disciplined quality gate across lint, format, tests, build, versioning, and release processes, so teams ship reliable code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a full quality gate: lint → format → test → build → version → diff-review → publish (main only)
  • Applies to any npm package project with a publishable package.json, guiding feature work, bug fixes, releases, and changelog updates
  • Helps maintain code quality and consistency across releases by providing a repeatable workflow

Quick Start

Start the npm-pkg-expert workflow in your project and follow the guided prompts to enforce the complete quality gate.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce an npm package quality gate before publishing?

Enforce an npm package quality gate by running a full pipeline of lint, format, test, build, version, diff-review, and publish on the main branch. This ensures publish-ready code within any project containing a publishable package.json.

What steps should I follow to publish an npm package safely?

To publish an npm package safely, follow the sequential workflow: lint, format, test, build, version, diff-review, and publish. This disciplined pipeline activates on user intent to add features, fix bugs, or release.

Can I use this quality gate workflow for bug fixes and changelog updates?

Yes, the quality gate workflow applies to any npm package project with a publishable package.json. It actively guides bug fixes, feature additions, releases, and changelog updates through a repeatable pipeline.

What is the correct order for lint, test, build, and version when releasing an npm package?

The correct order for releasing an npm package is lint, format, test, build, version, diff-review, and publish. This sequence ensures code quality and consistency before publishing to the main branch.

Does the npm publish step work on branches other than main?

No, the publish step in the npm package quality gate pipeline operates on the main branch only. The preceding lint, format, test, build, and version steps prepare the code for this restricted release action.
