NPM Package Maintenance

About

This skill provides a comprehensive suite of tools for maintaining npm packages, allowing users to automatically identify and remove unused dependencies, fix security vulnerabilities via npm audit, and properly categorize packages between dependencies and devDependencies. It offers several modes of operations—from dry-run analysis and conservative pre-release updates to full project-wide optimization—ensuring that every change is validated against the project's build and test suite to maintain repository stability.

Key Features

• Intelligent categorization of dependencies versus devDependencies
• Rapid security patching for vulnerabilities found via npm audit
• Specialized maintenance modes for pre-release and post-feature workflows
• Automated identification and removal of unused npm packages
• Risk-based version updates with build and test verification
• 0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Cleaning up repository dependencies after a large feature development phase
• Performing urgent security audits and fixing CVEs without breaking the build
• Optimizing package.json for better bundle sizes and faster CI/CD pipelines
