audit-and-reduce-dependencies
Reduces JavaScript dependency footprint with pnpm while preserving lockfile, workspace layout, and dependency range style. Runs /check-npm first, then removes unused deps, dedupes versions, ranks transitive closure, and reports Keep/Replace/Remove triage. Use when cleaning up pnpm dependencies, reducing lockfile size, or shrinking node_modules in Grafana plugins; not for Go modules or full GitHub Actions workflow audits.

# Audit and reduce dependencies
Reduce JavaScript dependency footprint. Use **pnpm only**. Preserve the lockfile, workspace layout, and dependency range style unless there is a concrete reason to change them.
For GitHub Actions workflow triage (action choice, permissions, pinning), use a dedicated workflow audit — not the reporting format below (workflow file + step only when the finding is **pnpm install policy**).
## Workflow
0. Hardening gate: run `/check-npm` (read-only). See [check-npm](../check-npm/SKILL.md).
1. Establish the baseline.
2. Remove unused direct dependencies.
3. Deduplicate direct dependency versions in monorepos.
4. Rank direct dependencies by transitive lockfile closure.
5. Use closure data to find low-risk minor/patch upgrades.
