27+
28+
```bash
29+
# Create account at: https://www.npmjs.com/signup
30+
# Or login to existing account
31+
npm login
32+
```
33+
34+
### 2. Verify Package
35+
36+
```bash
37+
cd /Users/philipritmeester/Agentwise/create-agentwise-cli
38+
39+
# Check package structure
40+

45+
46+
### 3. Publish to NPM
47+
48+
```bash
49+
# Publish to NPM registry
50+
npm publish
51+
52+
# Or if you want to publish as beta first:
53+
npm publish --tag beta
54+
```
55+
56+
## πŸ” Package Name Strategy
57+
58+
The package `create-agentwise` follows NPM conventions:
59+
60+
- Users will run: `npm create agentwise` or `npm create agentwise@latest`
61+
- NPM automatically resolves to the `create-agentwise` package
62+
- This is the same pattern as `create-react-app`, `create-next-app`, etc.
63+
64+
## πŸ“ NPM Page Configuration
65+
66+
After publishing, your NPM page will show:
67+
68+

72+
- **Keywords**: agentwise, ai, agents, claude-code, development
73+
74+
## πŸ”„ Version Management
75+
76+
Current version strategy:
77+
- **Package Version**: 2.3.0 (matches main Agentwise version)
78+
- **Future Updates**: Increment with each Agentwise release
79+
- **Beta Testing**: Use `--tag beta` for pre-releases
80+
81+
## 🚨 Important Considerations
82+
83+
### Package Scope
84+
Currently set to unscoped (`create-agentwise`). Consider:

87+
88+
### Maintenance
89+
- Update package with each Agentwise release
90+
- Monitor for security vulnerabilities
91+

96+
- No shell script execution
97+
- Transparent operations with user confirmation
98+
- Audited dependencies (0 vulnerabilities)
99+
- Open source - users can review code
100+
101+

103+
After publishing, you'll get:
104+
- Download statistics from NPM
105+

106+
- Popular versions and platforms
107+
108+
## πŸ› οΈ Post-Publishing Tasks
109+
110+
1. **Update Documentation**: Add NPM install method to all docs
111+
2. **GitHub Release**: Create v2.3.0 release with NPM package
112+
3. **Website Update**: Update installation instructions
113+
4. **Social Media**: Announce the easier installation method
114+
115+
