npm Publish Skill

Complete workflow for publishing packages to the npm registry, including granular access token creation via the npmjs.com web UI.

Prerequisites

npm account with package write access
Playwright browser tool available for token creation
Package must be built (npm run build) and tests passing (npm test)

Publishing Workflow

Step 1: Check if already published

npm view <package-name> version

If the package/version already exists, bump the version in package.json before proceeding.

Step 2: Build and test

npm run build && npm test

Ensure there are no build errors and all tests pass before publishing.

Step 3: Create granular access token (if needed)

If you don't have a valid token:

Navigate to https://www.npmjs.com/settings/~/tokens using Playwright browser
If not logged in, the user must authenticate (npm sends email OTP)
Click "Generate New Token"
Fill in:
- Token name: <package-name>-publish
- Bypass 2FA: Check the checkbox
- Packages and scopes → Permissions: "Read and write"
- Select packages: "All packages" radio button
- Expiration: 90 days (maximum for write tokens)
Click "Generate token"
Copy the token from the success page (starts with npm_)

Step 4: Configure and publish

npm config set //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken=<TOKEN>
npm publish --access public

Step 5: Verify publication

npm view <package-name> version

Confirm the published version matches what you expected.

Step 6: Clean up token from local config

npm config delete //registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken

This removes the token from your local .npmrc so it is not accidentally leaked.

Important Notes

npm granular tokens with write access have a max 90-day expiry
Bypass 2FA checkbox MUST be enabled for CLI publishing to work
The "All packages" radio must be explicitly selected (it's not selected by default despite appearing so)
Always clean up tokens from local .npmrc after publishing
Token stays saved in npmjs.com account for re-use within its expiry window

Troubleshooting

Problem	Cause	Fix
E403 error	Token doesn't have bypass 2FA enabled, or expired	Regenerate token with bypass 2FA checked
"Must select at least one package"	"All packages" radio not actually selected	Click "All packages" radio button explicitly
Email OTP required	npm login requires email verification	User must check their email — cannot be automated
E404 on npm view	Package not yet published	This is expected for first-time publishes
Version conflict	Version already exists on registry	Bump version in `package.json` before publishing
