npm-package-release

Guides an agent through releasing an npm package whose publication is triggered by pushing a version tag in CI. Covers reading test, build and version lifecycle scripts before running anything, local preflight checks, the release commit, agreeing a semver level with the user, running and auditing the version bump, pushing only the approved branch and tag, tracking the CI run that matches both tag and commit, read-only registry confirmation of the exact version and its distribution tag, a required user-performed verification in a scratch directory anchored on the exact installed version with package-appropriate CLI or library import checks, confirmation-gated local cache handling, and registry-first recovery after a failed run. Use when the user asks to publish, release, ship or bump an npm package whose publishing is automated behind a tag in CI. Not for manual publishing without CI, non-npm artifacts like containers or wheels, or unpublishing, deprecating or overwriting released versions.
