Secure Installation

UI packages modify CSS and component trees — verify before allowing into your project. Follow supply chain security best practices:

• **Block post-install scripts** — `npm config set ignore-scripts true` (or Bun: disabled by default)
• **Cooldown period** — Wait 7 days for new package versions to be vetted by the community
• **Audit before installing** — Run `socket package score npm <pkg>` or use `socket npm install <pkg>` to check packages

Load the `dependency-upgrade` skill for full security configuration including Socket CLI integration, cooldown setup, lockfile validation, and CI enforcement.
