parse-package-json

Parse package.json to extract version and name by reading the file, validating JSON structure, and returning both fields as structured output. This Skill enforces these as required fields and reports clear errors if missing.

Yes. This Skill extracts dependencies, devDependencies, scripts, main, description, and the private flag from package.json in a single operation, enabling audits and release workflows.

Invalid JSON or missing name/version fields trigger robust error handling that reports specific failure reasons—missing file, invalid JSON syntax, or absent required fields—rather than silent failures.

Use this Skill to read and validate package.json structure, ensuring required fields exist and metadata is well-formed. Results support release workflows, audits, and npm project reports.

This Skill parses individual package.json files you specify. It validates and extracts metadata from each file independently, supporting workflows that process multiple packages.

Dedicated parsing enforces validation of required fields, handles malformed JSON gracefully with clear error messages, and structures output consistently for automated audits and reports.
