+# npm pkg
+
+## Summary
+
+A new top-level command that manages any property in your `package.json`.
+
+## Motivation
+
+Some users prefer managing their `package.json` using **npm cli** comands rather than manually editing a JSON file.
+
+As of today, some of the **npm cli** commands already handle the automated management of the `package.json` file, such as `npm install` adding / updating dependency declarations, `npm version` bumping the version value, or in the case of `npm set-script` a top-level command that serves specifically the purpose of managing `"scripts"` data in the `package.json` file.
+
+## Detailed Explanation
+
+- Add a `npm pkg` command
+
+## Rationale and Alternatives
+
+{{Discuss 2-3 different alternative solutions that were considered. This is required, even if it seems like a stretch. Then explain why this is the best choice out of available ones.}}
+
+## Implementation
+
+- Add a new `lib/pkg.js` top-level command that will handle adding / removing / modifying properties in your `package.json` file.
+
+## Prior Art
+
+- `npm set-script` top-level command that allow users to add new scripts to their package.json
+- `npm init -w <ws-path>` init command will add the current path to `"workspaces"` property
+- `npm install|uninstall <pkg>` will add/remove deps to `"dependencies"`
