Publisher not specified · Claude Code

What this plugin does

Evaluate npm and Python packages before adding them as dependencies. Automatically gathers package metadata, analyzes source complexity, checks security and maintenance health, and produces a structured USE / EXTRACT / BUILD verdict.

Auto-triggers when your agent is about to install a new package, or run on-demand with /evaluating-dependencies [function]. Catches supply chain red flags like .pth injection, typosquatting, and stale maintainership.
