As of VS2017, the package.json `name` field is required to match the regex `^[^A-Z]+$` and have a length not more than 214 characters.  I was unable to find the regex in this repo, so please redirect me if such an issue should be posted elsewhere. I propose that this regex be changed to ```regex ^(?=.{1,214}$)(?:@[a-z0-9-~][a-z0-9-._~]*\/)?[a-z0-9-~][a-z0-9-._~]*$ ``` This regex follows the guidelines at https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json better. I have added some simple unit tests for it over at https://regex101.com/r/QgADad/3/tests. Please let me know if you would like me to clarify the regex in any way. It is much more complex than the existing one, but also more accurate. **Ref**: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/695438/safe-characters-for-friendly-url https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11197549/regular-expression-limit-string-size **EDIT 1**: Improved regex **EDIT 2**: Added more tests
