Unused dependencies detection identifies packages installed but not actively used in your codebase. Run the automated detection script to scan your project's package manifest and imports, then remove flagged packages to reduce bundle size and maintenance overhead.

Security audit scanning detects known vulnerabilities in your project's dependencies using npm audit. The Skill runs this check automatically to identify vulnerable packages, then recommends updates or replacements to eliminate security risks.

Yes. The Skill analyzes package manifests to list dependencies with available upgrades and flags duplicate functionality—multiple packages serving the same purpose like date libraries or HTTP clients—so you can consolidate and modernize your stack.

Bundle analysis and duplicate detection identify large, lightly used libraries and overlapping functionality. Combined with unused dependency detection, this produces actionable findings to remove bloat, suggest leaner replacements, and reduce your final bundle size.

Dependency analysis applies to npm-based projects of any size. The Skill uses automated detection commands and manual inspection patterns with Bash, grep, and glob matching to scale from small modules to large monorepos.

Technical debt detection surfaces unused packages, missing dependencies, dead code, and deprecated packages. A comprehensive review identifies all these issues at once, giving you a complete picture of maintenance overhead and modernization priorities.
