Use when you need to find the 2-3 most popular and well-maintained npm packages relevant to a frontend checklist rule, validate they meet quality thresholds, and add them to the rule's frontmatter.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# find-npm-packages
Identify, validate, and add npm package references to a Front-End Checklist rule.
## What this skill does
Given a rule file or rule slug, this skill will:
1. Understand what the rule is checking for
2. Research which npm packages are commonly used to implement, automate, or enforce the rule
3. Validate each candidate against quality thresholds (popularity + maintenance)
4. Select the best 2–3 packages
5. Add them to the rule's `npmPackages` frontmatter field
## Quality thresholds (mandatory — do not skip)
Before selecting any package, check it against these criteria using the npm registry:
| Criterion | Minimum |
|-----------|---------|
| Weekly downloads | >10,000/week |
| Last publish | Within 18 months |
| npm registry | Must be listed (`registry.npmjs.org/{name}`) |
Packages that fail any threshold must be excluded, regardless of how relevant they are.
## Research steps
### Step 1 — Understand the rule
Read the rule file: `packages/content/rules/en/{category}/{slug}.mdx`
Focus on:
- What problem does this rule solve?
- What technique, spec, or behavior does it enforce?
- What tools or linters are mentioned in the `tools:` field?
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/find-npm-packages@sha256:72f53fe78798fb86The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
