nodejs-package-json

Patch a Node.js project's package.json for standard build automation. Use when asked to add/standardize package.json scripts like prebuild/postbuild for TypeScript builds (rimraf dist + tsc-alias), adjust prebuild for Next.js (rimraf dist .next), or ensure an existing package.json pkg config includes required scripts/assets/targets/outputPath.

SKILL.md

Node.js `package.json`

Goal

Quickly and safely update package.json to include:

scripts.prebuild: rimraf dist (or rimraf dist .next for Next.js)
scripts.postbuild: tsc-alias
If pkg config exists: ensure scripts/assets/targets/outputPath contain required entries

Workflow

Run the patcher (auto-detects Next.js):
- python3 "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/nodejs-package-json/scripts/patch_package_json.py" --path package.json
If Next.js auto-detection is wrong, force it:
- Force Next.js: --nextjs true
- Force non-Next.js: --nextjs false
If prebuild or postbuild already exist with different values:
- Re-run with --force to overwrite to the recommended defaults.

Notes

This skill edits package.json only; it does not install dependencies. Ensure rimraf and tsc-alias are available (typically as devDependencies).
The patcher only edits pkg settings if a top-level pkg object already exists (it does not add one).
