Result

Rationale

Often people haven't heard of a library, or need to be redirected to its github/official website/issue tracker/whatever. Instead of having to send someone a link, we can just use the command.

Furthermore, it could display useful information such as the current version and when it was released which could prove quite useful! Such information could even be updated automatically on a schedule by simply checking package.jsons, or Github releases via the API, or by using NPM's API.

There could also be a way to just get only the information you're interested in, e.g. !lib bootstrap-vue version, !lib vuetify docs.

I like the basic version of doing something like !quasar or something not a fan of using prefixes personally because then it becomes a dictionary type thing and rules to memorize instead of intuitively just asking for what you want

We could probably just have both and people can use the shortform or longform - whichever they prefer. 🤷‍♀️

Also you should bare in mind that we have aliases for lazy people so you could do e.g. !library, !lib or !l but yeah it could be good to provide further aliases/shortcuts I guess and is certainly possible.
