Key capabilities

  • Identify version conflicts in packages
  • Suggest lighter or more maintained package alternatives
  • Assess bundle size impact of dependencies
  • Generate prioritized update plans with risk assessment
  • Audit package licenses for compatibility

How it works

This skill examines package manifests and lockfiles to identify security vulnerabilities, version conflicts, bundle size issues, and maintenance risks. It categorizes dependencies and assesses their health metrics.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Package manifest (package.json, requirements.txt, go.mod, Cargo.toml)
You get back
Analysis of current dependency state, update plan, bundle analysis, conflict resolution, alternative suggestions

When to use dependency-analyzer

  • Resolving dependency version conflicts
  • Reducing bundle size
  • Auditing for package vulnerabilities

About dependency-analyzer

Examines package manifests to produce dependency reports. It provides update plans and identifies lighter-weight alternatives for bloated packages.

Dependency tree analysis, version conflict resolution, update planning, and bundle size optimization

When not to use it

  • When the project does not use package manifests
  • When only interested in runtime performance, not dependency structure
  • When the goal is to develop new features, not maintain existing code

Limitations

  • The skill relies on package manifests for analysis
  • The skill does not directly fix vulnerabilities or conflicts
  • The skill's analysis is limited to the provided dependency information

How it compares

This skill systematically analyzes dependency health and generates actionable update plans, unlike manually checking individual package statuses.
