Anatomy of source maps
npm
You can define npm scripts in package.json. npm will automatically resolve binaries in node_modules.
You can use shell pipe in the command. This works great is your toolchains support piping.
If you need cross-platform support (well, Windows support), consider using Vanilla JS.

task automation with npm run
Using npm Scripts to Build an Asset Pipeline
open-cli-tools/concurrently: Run commands concurrently. Like npm run watch-js & npm run watch-less but better.
mysticatea/npm-run-all: A CLI tool to run multiple npm-scripts in parallel or sequential.
google/wireit: Wireit upgrades your npm scripts to make them smarter and more efficient.
Vanilla JS
If your toolchain expose Node.js API, you can write an Node.js app as your pipeline. This is better the other task runners as you have nothing more to learn other then JavaScript and the API of the toolchain you are using.
