  #!/usr/bin/jq -jf
  jq -j '
    [
      [
        paths(scalars)
        | map(
          if type == "number"
          then "[" + tostring + "]"
          else "." + .
          end
        ) | join("")
      ],
      [
        .. | select(scalars) | @json
      ]
    ]
    | transpose
    | map(join(" = ") + "\n")
    | join("") 
  '

(just so that if somebody come accross your great project, and wants to do something equivalent without needing npm )
