That's fine, the separate files are a benefit here. The only annoyance is clogging up the root project folder -- though some people don't seem to care about that. If they got too numerous (the 5 in OP's "more advanced" project would probably not be too numerous), I'd consider putting the scripts in their own folder. I might even call it 'make' just to mess with people. Then my commands are just make/build and make/deploy and so on (.sh unnecessary). But really, in OP's case, I just have no need for some of their simple wrappers. "npm run dev" is two characters longer than "make dev", pointless.
