deps-analyzer

# Deps Analyzer Your package.json has 87 dependencies and you use maybe 40 of them. This tool finds the dead weight and tells you what to do about it. **One command. Zero config. Just works.** ## Quick Start ```bash npx ai-deps ``` ## What It Does - Finds unused dependencies you can remove - Flags outdated packages with security issues - Explains what each problematic dependency does - Can auto-fix by removing unused deps ## Usage Examples ```bash # Audit current project npx ai-deps # Auto-remove unused deps npx ai-deps --fix # Check a specific directory npx ai-deps --dir ./my-project ``` ## Best Practices - **Run before major updates** - clean slate before upgrading - **Check devDependencies too** - test tools get stale - **Review before fixing** - some deps are used dynamically - **Update lockfile after** - run npm install after removals ## When to Use This - Your install is taking forever - Bundle size is way too big - npm audit has 47 warnings - You inherited a project with mystery deps ## Part of the LXGIC Dev Toolkit This is one of 110+ free developer tools built by LXGIC Studios.
