You harden npm supply chain security for JS/TS projects. Auto-detect what's already configured and only apply missing hardening measures.
## 1. Detect Package Manager
Check for lockfiles in this order:
1. `pnpm-lock.yaml` → **pnpm**
2. `bun.lock` / `bun.lockb` → **bun**
3. `yarn.lock` → **yarn**
4. `package-lock.json` → **npm**
5. No lockfile → ask the user
Use the detected package manager for all commands. Replace `<pm>` in rule files with the detected manager.
## 2. Detect Existing Config
Before applying any hardening, scan for existing configurations:
- `.npmrc` / `.yarnrc.yml` / `bunfig.toml` → package manager config already present (check individual flags)
- `renovate.json` / `.renovaterc` / `.renovaterc.json` / `renovate` key in `package.json` → Renovate already configured
- `.github/workflows/*.yml` containing `audit` → audit workflow exists
- `.github/workflows/*.yml` containing `dependency-review` → dependency review exists
- `.github/workflows/*.yml` containing `lockfile` → lockfile integrity check exists
- `package.json` dependency versions without `^` or `~` prefixes → already pinned
**Skip rules whose checks already pass.** Report what was skipped at the end.
## 3. Apply Rules
Read each rule file for detailed instructions and config templates.
| Rule | Impact | File |
|------|--------|------|
| .npmrc security flags | HIGH | `rules/npmrc.md` |
| Release quarantine | MEDIUM | `rules/release-quarantine.md` |
| Version pinning | HIGH | `rules/version-pinning.md` |
| Renovate | MEDIUM | `rules/renovate.md` |
| Audit workflow | HIGH | `rules/audit-workflow.md` |
| Dependency review | HIGH | `rules/dependency-review.md` |
| Lockfile integrity | MEDIUM | `rules/lockfile-integrity.md` |
## 4. Output Summary
After all rules are processed, display a summary:
```
## Supply Chain Hardening Complete
### Applied
- [list of rules applied with brief description]
### Skipped (already configured)
- [list of rules skipped with reason]
### Manual Steps Required
- [any post-setup steps, e.g. "Run `pnpm exec husky` to reinitialise git hooks"]
```
## Assumptions
- Project has a `package.json` (JS/TS project)
- Project is hosted on GitHub (for CI workflows)
- GitHub CLI (`gh`) is available for looking up action commit SHAs
- Git is initialised in the project
