The skill's fix for a real non-interactive-agent blocker — npm redacts the browser auth URL to `***` in non-TTY shells — is a `script -q /dev/null npm publish` wrapper that recovers the real URL; a baseline answer just says 'click the link' and gets stuck.

What Npm Release does

Repo-specific playbook for publishing the Skill Zoo CLI package to npm: identifies the real publishable workspace package, runs typecheck/test/build/dry-run, and walks failure modes like duplicate versions or bad tarball contents. Its standout move is a `script -q /dev/null` wrapper that recovers the real npm browser-auth URL when running in non-interactive agent shells, where npm normally redacts it to `***`.

How to install Npm Release

git clone https://github.com/luochang212/skill-zoo
cd skill-zoo
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/npm-release ~/.claude/skills/npm-release

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.
