Espruino modules packaged as NodeJS modules

RE npm leads to per-user fixes:
When a library is pulled down to local file system, and the user finds a bug - and the fix - it's very convenient to simply fix the problem locally. Of course this is a completely wrong approach but users tend to bend the rules. With the current way things work, the only way to fix a bug is to fix it for everyone. Which is good.

What scenario do you want to realize with an API?
What are you trying to do with the espruino-tools that you're having problems with?
I'm pulling it in with npm as such: dependencies: { "espruino-tools": "git+https://<token-from-github>:x-oauth-basic@github.com/espruino/espruino-tools.git" /*...*/ }

Then

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
var child = spawn('node', ['/path/to/espruino-tools/index.js', '-p', '/dev/ttyACM1', 'mycode.js']);

child.stdout.on('data', function(stream) {
  //look at result of espruino-tools
});
