You can do something like so:

import module from 'node:module';

function isCoreModule(moduleName): boolean {
  if (moduleName.startsWith('node:') {
    return true;
  }

  // requires v18.6.0, v16.17.0
  if (module.isBuiltin(moduleName)) {
    return true;
  }

  // if using Node.js older than 16.17
  // use: module.builtinModules.includes(moduleName)

  return false;
}

We should prob add https://www.npmjs.com/package/is-builtin-module and https://github.com/sindresorhus/builtin-modules to the list as well (although those packages do make it pretty clear in the README to use the Node.js API if possible).

we already have is-builtin-module here:
https://github.com/es-tooling/module-replacements/blob/main/docs/modules/is-builtin-module.md?plain=1

if this provides the same functionality, we should probably just add an entry to the preferred manifest pointing at the same doc
