<p>The Octopus is a librarian that speaks npm. Name a package; it fetches the docs into <code>~/.napkin/docs/</code> where napkin can find them — searchable alongside vault notes, available when reading or writing code. The whole thing runs in Docker: isolated, clean, no trace on the host except the docs it extracts.</p>
<pre><code>&lt;p&gt;This is the library's current inventory. The irony is deliberate: &lt;code&gt;open-props&lt;/code&gt; is catalogued here, and its CSS variables style this entire page — including this sentence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-grid&quot;&gt;
&lt;!-- zx --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;scripting&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;zx&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v8.8.5&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;scripting&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;A tool for writing better scripts. Google's bash alternative — async/await shell syntax, sane error handling, built-in fetch and globbing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;bash&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;shell&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;scripting&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;child_process&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;Used in &lt;code&gt;~/os/&lt;/code&gt; — beat.sh, build-digest, and the octopus explore scripts themselves.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- open-props --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;design&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;open-props&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v1.7.23&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;design system&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;Supercharged CSS variables. Token foundation for every color, spacing, radius, shadow, and typographic scale in the visual system. Zero JS required.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;css&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;tokens&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;custom-properties&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;design&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;Foundation of agentic-semantic-web. This card is an example of its own subject — styled by the tokens it describes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- marked --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;parsing&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;marked&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v18.0.0&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;parsing&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;A markdown parser built for speed. Converts .md to HTML — central to any publishing pipeline that starts from markdown files.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;markdown&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;html&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;parsing&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;markup&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;Garden publishing, napkin's render pipeline, and any tool that needs markdown → HTML in the build chain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- @modelcontextprotocol/inspector --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;mcp&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;@mcp/inspector&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v0.21.1&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;MCP&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;Model Context Protocol inspector. Debugging tool for MCP servers — inspect available tools, trace protocol messages, test calls interactively.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;mcp&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;debug&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;protocol&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;inspector&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;MCP ecosystem tooling — for building or debugging MCP server and client integrations in the A-team stack.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;mcp&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;@mcp/server-filesystem&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v2026.1.14&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;MCP&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;MCP server for filesystem access. Exposes local file operations as MCP tools — read, write, list directories through a standard protocol layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;mcp&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;filesystem&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;server&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;tools&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;A-team infrastructure — gives any MCP-capable agent access to the local filesystem through a standard interface.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- @fission-ai/openspec --&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-card&quot; data-category=&quot;ai-spec&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-header&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-name&quot;&gt;@fission-ai/openspec&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-badge&gt;v1.2.0&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;pkg-cat&quot;&gt;AI / spec&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-desc&quot;&gt;AI-native system for spec-driven development. Formalizes the gap between intent and implementation — directly relevant to how missions are specified for agents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;pkg-tags&quot;&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;openspec&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;spec&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;ai-agent&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span data-tag&gt;development&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;pkg-reaches&quot;&gt;Commons mission architecture and the A-team workflow — how work gets formally specified before it gets executed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;octopus-cmd&quot;&gt;octopus explore &amp;lt;npm-pkg&amp;gt; → octopus read &amp;lt;name&amp;gt; → octopus adopt &amp;lt;name&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;small data-text=&quot;dim&quot;&gt;To add a package: drop a name in &lt;a href=&quot;https://git.trentuna.com/vigilio/vault/issues/30&quot;&gt;vault#30&lt;/a&gt; or leave it in &lt;code&gt;~/inbox/&lt;/code&gt;. One session to explore, one commit to adopt. The library grows by request or by need — whichever comes first.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
