npm SKILL.md skillA
npm from githubnext/rig is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add githubnext/rig/npm@git:20261006.cc792f2Pins git:20261006.cc792f2 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Troubleshoot npm registry, proxy, and certificate failures on the Microsoft corporate network or VPN using the 1ES public npm feed.
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
# npm on the Microsoft network or VPN Use this skill when npm downloads are blocked by the Microsoft corporate network or VPN. Run commands in the affected package directory. Prefer `npm ci` with the existing lockfile and default registry when access works; do not change dependency versions to solve a network failure. ## Use the 1ES public npm feed When access to npmjs is blocked, retry through the Microsoft 1ES public feed with command-scoped settings: ```sh registry=https://ms-feed-25.pkgs.visualstudio.com/1es-public/_packaging/npm-public/npm/registry/ npm ci --registry="$registry" --replace-registry-host=npmjs ``` `--replace-registry-host=npmjs` routes npmjs lockfile downloads through the selected registry without rewriting the lockfile. Private registries and lifecycle scripts that download from other hosts still need their own approved network access. Do not edit manifests, lockfile URLs, or committed npm configuration just to work around the local VPN. To diagnose feed access, query an actual package and exact version from the lockfile. For example, substitute the project's pinned package and version in: ```sh npm view yaml@2.9.0 version --registry="$registry" \ …

How to install
mdr add githubnext/rig/npm@sha256:8c5a13658b303a2cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.cc792f2, 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.
