List npm Package Content

This skill lists the exact contents of an npm package tarball - the same files that would be uploaded to npm and downloaded by users.

Usage

Run the script from the package directory (e.g.,

packages/ai

):

bash

bash scripts/list-package-files.sh

The script will build the package, create a tarball, list its contents, and clean up automatically.

Understanding Package Contents

The files included are determined by:

files

package.json

Always excluded:
```
.git
```
