Does this skill support scoped npm packages?

Yes, it fully supports scoped packages (e.g., @babel/core). Simply provide the full scoped name as the package argument.

What happens if I search for a package that doesn't exist?

The skill will return a 404 response indicating the package was not found. You can use the related npm-exists skill to verify name availability.

How fresh is the data retrieved by the npm-info skill?

Metadata is cached for 6 hours to optimize performance. If you need live data, you can use the --no-cache flag to fetch directly from the npm registry API.

Can I see the dependencies of a specific package version?

The skill provides dependency information including production, development, and peer dependencies to help you understand the package's requirements.
