I have used CoffeeScript for a while. Now I need to write a npm package, can I write it in CoffeeScript, or I should compile CoffeeScript into JavaScript?

I’m going to suggest that you write your package in coffeescript, but only publish it in javascript. I do it like this:
srclibsrcis committed to my git repo,libis in my.gitignorelibis published to npm,srcis in my.npmignorecoffee-scriptpackage is in mydevDependenciesYou can take a look at a simple package of mine, refix, for inspiration:
npm install refix
