About this plugin

You are mid-refactor, about to bump a dependency, and the age-old question hits: what is the latest published version right now? Firing up a terminal or hunting through a browser tab breaks your flow every single time. dsh-npm-live eliminates that friction by giving you a one-liner answer inside the AI conversation itself.

Under the hood, its core tool npm_live makes a live network call to the npm registry and returns the most recent version number for any package you name. The data is fetched in real time, not served from a stale local cache. The whole plugin is written in pure Node.js with zero third-party network dependencies, so it stays tiny, starts fast, and adds no bloat to your session.

If you live in the Node.js or npm ecosystem day to day, this is your quick-reference. Upgrade decisions, compatibility checks, or simply confirming whether a package just shipped something new—ask once in the conversation and move on, no context switch required.

Use Cases

  • Quickly check the latest version before upgrading a dependency
  • Query the target version when debugging compatibility issues
  • Confirm whether a package has just shipped a new release

Best For

  • Developers working with Node.js and npm daily
  • Frontend engineers who frequently manage project dependencies
  • Small teams looking to reduce context switching during development
