Run NPM Buttons is a VS Code / Cursor extension that provides quick access to your most used npm scripts directly from the status bar.
It remembers which scripts you have executed in the current workspace and creates a persistent toolbar for them.
Features
Adds compact buttons in the status bar for npm scripts.
Scripts appear only after they have been executed at least once (workspace history).
Supports monorepos: sub-packages show scripts using folderName:scriptName.
Tracks script state:
idle → play icon
running → spinner animation, automatically reset when finished
Works both when you start scripts from the extension or from the built-in NPM Scripts Explorer.
