As Javascript developers, we use npm all the time. But diving into a new npm package can be a time sink.

But what if you had an AI assistant that knew the package inside out and can:

1. Help you decide if the package meets your needs.
2. How to integrate it in your codebase.
3. Debug compile and runtime issues.

Introducing AI Assist for NPM Packages

This tool creates custom AI agents trained on npm package repositories. Let's use cheerio as an example.

Here's how it works:

Create the AI Assist

Visit CommandDash which is a free tool to create agents for github libraries and npm, pypi and pub packages.

1. Tap on Create Agent button, and paste the npm package URL
   

2. Submit your URL and it will setup the agent for you.
   

3. Start Querying.
   

Now you can easily: 🤯

1. Decide if the package meets your needs.
2. Integrate it in your codebase.
3. Debug and fix issues.

Note: It can take a few minutes to prepare the agent.

Bonus: You can install the VSCode extension and use the agent in your IDE 🙌🏼

Give it a shot next time you're exploring a new package. It might just save you a few hours and a headache.

Happy coding! 🚀
