   @zachleat Isn't that just `npm init esm -y`?

      @cthos no, doesn’t look like it.

      ```
      {
      "name": "initmod",
      "version": "1.0.0",
      "main": "index.js",
      "module": "main.js",
      "scripts": {
      "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
      },
      "keywords": [],
      "author": "",
      "license": "ISC",
      "description": "",
      "dependencies": {
      "esm": "^3.2.25"
      }
      }
      ```

      (and it creates more files too)

      @cthos @zachleat i just tried that and it doesn't use type:module - did i misunderstand?

   @zachleat npm init -y es6 seems to do it. Alternately you could tell people to do npm init -y; npm pkg set type="module"; I guess

      @chrisw_b TIL `npm pkg set`—appreciate it!

   `npm init -y; npm pkg set type="module";` works well enough—thank you @chrisw_b!
