+### Description
+
+`npm-shrinkwrap.json` is a file created by [`npm
+shrinkwrap`](/commands/npm-shrinkwrap). It is identical to
+`package-lock.json`, with one major caveat: Unlike `package-lock.json`,
+`npm-shrinkwrap.json` may be included when publishing a package.
+
+The recommended use-case for `npm-shrinkwrap.json` is applications deployed
+through the publishing process on the registry: for example, daemons and
+command-line tools intended as global installs or `devDependencies`. It's
+strongly discouraged for library authors to publish this file, since that
+would prevent end users from having control over transitive dependency
+updates.
+
+If both `package-lock.json` and `npm-shrinkwrap.json` are present in a
+package root, `npm-shrinkwrap.json` will be preferred over the
+`package-lock.json` file.
+
+For full details and description of the `npm-shrinkwrap.json` file format,
+refer to the manual page for
+[package-lock.json](/configuring-npm/package-lock-json).
