Use this skill to set up or debug npm "Trusted Publishing" (OIDC) from GitHub Actions. It handles OIDC permissions, Node.js version requirements, package.json metadata validation (specifically repository.url), and robust publish commands with provenance. Trigger this when the user mentions "npm OIDC", "trusted publishing", "publish to npm from github", or encounters 404/422 errors during npm publish in CI.

What this skill does


# npm Trusted Publishing (OIDC)

Configure and debug secure, tokenless npm publishing from GitHub Actions using OpenID Connect (OIDC) and Provenance.

## Core Requirements

Trusted Publishing eliminates the need for long-lived `NPM_TOKEN` secrets by using short-lived, cryptographically-signed tokens.

### 1. GitHub Actions Permissions
The workflow MUST have explicit permissions to fetch the OIDC ID token.

```yaml
permissions:
  id-token: write # Required for OIDC
  contents: read  # Required for checkout
```

### 2. Node.js Version
Trusted Publishing requires **Node.js 22.14.0 or higher** and **npm 11.5.1 or higher**.

```yaml
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: 22.14.0
    registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'
```

### 3. package.json Metadata (CRITICAL)
NPM validates provenance against the `repository` field. If this is missing or incorrect, the publish will fail with a **422 Unprocessable Entity**.

```json
{
  "repository": {
    "type": "git",
    "url": "https://github.com/USER/REPO"
  }
}
```

## Workflow Implementation

### Recommended Publish Step
Always use the latest `npm` CLI and explicit flags for maximum reliability.

```yaml
- name: Publish to npm
  run: |
    npm install -g npm@latest
    npm publish --provenance --access public --registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
```

## Troubleshooting Guide

### 404 Not Found
*   **Cause**: Usually a registry mismatch.
*   **Fix**: Explicitly set `--registry https://registry.npmjs.org/` in the publish command. Ensure no `.npmrc` is overriding the registry to a mirror or private proxy.

### 422 Unprocessable Entity
*   **Cause**: Metadata mismatch (most common: `repository.url` in `package.json` is missing or doesn't match the GitHub URL).
*   **Fix**: Validate `package.json` against the actual repository URL.

### 403 Forbidden / Unauthorized
*   **Cause**: The "Trusted Publisher" is not configured on `npmjs.com` or has an "Environment" mismatch.
*   **Fix**: 
    1. Check **npmjs.com → Package Settings → Trusted Publishing**.
    2. Verify **Organization**, **Repository**, and **Workflow filename** (e.g., `publish.yml`) are exact.
    3. If an **Environment** is specified on npm (e.g., "release"), it MUST be specified in the workflow: `jobs.publish.environment: release`.

## User Instructions

When setting up a new project, provide these instructions to the user:

1.  **Configure npmjs.com**: Go to your package settings → Trusted Publishing and add a new "GitHub Actions" publisher.
2.  **Fields**:
    *   **Organization**: `YOUR_USERNAME`
    *   **Repository**: `YOUR_REPO`
    *   **Workflow filename**: `publish.yml`
    *   **Environment**: Leave blank (unless explicitly requested).
3.  **No Secrets Needed**: Remind the user that `NPM_TOKEN` is NO LONGER REQUIRED in GitHub Secrets.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
