  • Avoid platform-specific commands: Avoid using platform-specific commands in your scripts. Use cross-platform tools like Node.js or Bash to ensure that your scripts work on different platforms. For instance, if you want your npm script to remove a certain directory using the rm -rf command, this would work perfectly on a Linux or Mac machine but would error out on Windows. To avoid this, you can use a cross-platform package such as [rimraf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rimraf).

  • Keep scripts independent: Keep your scripts independent of each other to avoid dependency issues. If you need to run one script after another, use a task runner like Gulp or Grunt to define tasks and their dependencies.
