npm-stars is a lightweight CLI tool for Node.js developers to quickly view and manage starred packages on the npm registry. It fetches and displays a formatted list of packages you've starred (or any user's), making it easy to revisit favorites without browsing the web interface.

Installation is straightforward via npm: npm install --global npm-stars. Once installed, running npm-stars shows your top starred packages with details like name, description, version, and star count. It's particularly useful for developers tracking useful modules across projects.

The tool supports JSON output for scripting, user-specific queries, and customization like result limits or truncation. Stars are public data from npm's API, so no authentication is needed for public profiles. It's maintained by Sindre Sorhus, ensuring reliability and minimal dependencies.

Requires Node.js and npm installed. Stars data is public; private profiles unsupported. Rate-limited by npm API.

npm install --global npm-stars
Then run npm-stars directly.

Fetches from npm registry endpoint: registry.npmjs.org/-/v1/users/<user>/stars

Created by Sindre Sorhus in 2014 as part of his CLI ecosystem. Last major update around 2018; stable with occasional maintenance.
