Npm Downloads To Leads

Description

Takes a list of npm package names (yours or competitors'), fetches 12 weeks of daily download data from the npm API, computes a breakout velocity score per package to identify hockey-stick growth, fetches maintainer profiles from the npm registry and GitHub API, and outputs a ranked lead brief for each breakout package with who built it, how to reach them, and what to say. Use when asked to fin...

What this skill does

1. 1Fetches 12 weeks of daily download data from the npm API for a list of packages and aggregates it into weekly buckets.
2. 2Computes a breakout velocity score for each package based on recent growth ratio and acceleration, classifying them as breakout, watching, steady, established, or too early.
3. 3Enriches maintainers of breakout and watching packages via the npm registry and GitHub API — name, Twitter handle, followers, bio, and company field.
4. 4Generates a ranked lead brief per breakout package with growth numbers, maintainer contact signals, and a personalized outreach message referencing the specific package.

When to use

• You sell developer tools and want to find maintainers of fast-growing packages before they are well-known.
• You want to track competitor package momentum and identify which ecosystems are gaining traction.
• You need warm outreach context for DevTools leads based on real growth data, not guesswork.
• You want to identify which open-source projects are accelerating and who to contact at the right time.
