Dep
Wraps npm's ecosystem tooling so Claude can analyze your JavaScript project's dependencies without you bouncing between terminal commands. It exposes five operations: license analysis that flags copyleft and unknown licenses, outdated package detection with semantic version categorization, dependency tree visualization with circular reference detection, bundle size estimation via the Bundlephobia API, and security audits using npm's advisory data. Each tool takes a project directory path and works directly against package.json. Reach for this when you're triaging a new codebase, preparing for an audit, or need to understand dependency health without context switching. It's essentially npm audit, npm outdated, and license checking surfaced as conversational tools.

dep_check_licensesAnalyze licenses of all dependencies in a project. Lists each dependency's license type, flags copyleft (GPL) and unknown licenses, and checks for compatibility issues.

dep_find_outdatedCheck which dependencies are outdated. Compares installed or specified versions against the latest on npm, categorizes updates as major/minor/patch, and shows how many days since the latest version was published.

dep_analyze_sizeEstimate total bundle size from package.json without installing node_modules. Queries the Bundlephobia API for each production dependency to get minified and gzipped sizes.

dep_security_auditCheck dependencies for known security vulnerabilities. Runs `npm audit` when a lockfile is present, otherwise queries the npm registry advisory API directly. Reports severity levels, affected version ranges, and fix recommendations.
