@wordpress/scripts
Command-line tool with build, lint, format and test scripts for WordPress block and plugin development, published from the Gutenberg monorepo.
developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-scripts/repositorydocs
@wordpress/scripts is an npm package that gives WordPress block and plugin projects a set of command-line scripts for building, linting, formatting and testing. Its wp-scripts binary runs the build and dev server with a default configuration the package supplies, and a project can replace that with its own webpack config. The package is published from the Gutenberg monorepo and is maintained within the WordPress project.
Worth knowing
The docs ask for a Node.js version with long-term support status and say the package is not compatible with older versions. Its releases are tags inside the Gutenberg repository, not separate GitHub releases, so the version shown on the record is the package’s own tag.
