# NPM & PWA Helper Skill
**ID: 20260124.170000** - Created by Glen Warnes with the help of his "Antigravity Guide" Google Gem.

## Goal
Enable the agent to manage the JavaScript environment and resolve PWA-specific development hurdles autonomously.

## Instructions
1. **Dependency Management:** Use `npm` to install missing modules or run scripts defined in `package.json`.
2. **PWA Troubleshooting:** If the user reports that "changes aren't showing" or "the app is stale":
   - Suggest a "Hard Reset" of the service worker.
   - Check the `manifest.json` for syntax errors.
   - Suggest running the build script with a `--clean` or equivalent flag if available.
3. **Integration:** Monitor the NPM Scripts view in the sidebar to identify available dev/build commands.
4. **Consistency:** Always prioritize `package-lock.json` versions to maintain container stability.

## Constraints
- Do not use `sudo`.
- Ask for confirmation before performing a `destructive` clean (e.g., deleting `node_modules`).
