FWIW npm 5 comes with npx [0] which basically does similar things. If you run npx webpack it would use the local copy of webpack or even install one run it and discard it.

[0] https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx

That's not the same thing. Npx is for running commands you install from npm, and yarn [command] allows you to run scripts defined in your package.json file.

npm always did this. The OC said that he likes that yarn can also run local binaries that are not a npm script.
