## Purpose

Review a project's dependency manifest for bloat, risk, and duplication — packages that shouldn't be there, packages that duplicate functionality, and packages that carry maintenance or licensing risk.

## When to Use

- The dependency list has grown over time without anyone auditing it.
- Before adding a new dependency, to check if an existing one already covers the need.
- Investigating bundle size or install time bloat.

## What to Analyze

1. **Unnecessary packages** — dependencies for functionality that's a few lines of code, or that duplicate a built-in language/runtime feature.
2. **Duplication** — multiple packages solving the same problem (e.g. two date libraries, two HTTP clients) introduced at different times by different people.
