Documented steps
Create the executable script and give it a shebang line (#!/usr/bin/env node) and make it executable
Register the command with npm pkg set bin.mycommand=cli.js where mycommand is the command name users will run and cli.js is the file path relative to the package root
Add more commands by setting more bin.<name> keys in the same call: npm pkg set bin.foo=bin/foo.js bin.bar=bin/bar.js
On install, npm links each bin into the local node_modules/.bin and, for global installs, into the global bin directory
Verify the mapping with npm pkg get bin
Known gotchas
The bin value is a path relative to the package root, and the key name (after bin.) is what becomes the command name on the path
The script needs a valid shebang and execute permission for npm to wire it up correctly
If the key name you pick collides with an existing command name, the last-linked path wins on PATH — pick unique command names
