Takes a list of npm package names (yours or competitors'), fetches 12 weeks of daily download data from the npm API, computes a breakout velocity score per package to identify hockey-stick growth, fetches maintainer profiles from the npm registry and GitHub API, and outputs a ranked lead brief for each breakout package with who built it, how to reach them, and what to say.

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 Downloads to Leads Take a list of npm packages. Fetch 12 weeks of download data. Compute breakout velocity. Enrich maintainer profiles. Output a ranked lead brief per breakout package with contact signals and an outreach message. --- **Critical rule:** Every package download figure in the output must come from the npm API response. Every maintainer GitHub handle or Twitter username must come from the GitHub API response -- not guessed from the npm username. If the GitHub API did not return a twitter_username field, write "not found on GitHub" -- do not invent one. --- ## Common Mistakes | The agent will want to... | Why that's wrong | |---|---| | Fetch GitHub profiles for every package in the list | Rate limit is 60 req/hr without a token. Enriching steady or declining packages wastes the budget before reaching breakout ones. Only fetch profiles for breakout and watching packages. | | Rank packages by raw weekly downloads | Raw downloads favor React and lodash, which are not leads. A package going from 1K to 8K/week is more actionable than React at 50M/week. Velocity score is the signal. | …

How to install
mdr add varnan-tech/opendirectory/npm-downloads-to-leads@sha256:1998adc6c2efc0a6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a03d635, 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.
