Help decide what to add as a NEW npm dependency — comparing 2-5 named candidates for the same job, evaluating one named candidate against its real peers, or shortlisting candidates from a described need, before anything is installed. Use for "which should we use for X," "axios vs got vs node-fetch," "is X a good pick for Y," "what should we use to do Z," "should we add X or is there something better."

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'new-dependency-evaluation' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'new-dependency-evaluation' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named new-dependency-evaluation already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3e1e6b20ffc28f42923e391f29f075c424e19e64' -- 'plugins/salemalem/npmscan-mcp-plugin/skills/new-dependency-evaluation' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/salemalem/npmscan-mcp-plugin/skills/new-dependency-evaluation' ~/.agents/skills/'new-dependency-evaluation' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'new-dependency-evaluation' ~/.claude/skills/'new-dependency-evaluation' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
