The big idea
Every npm project has a package.json. Half the keys look random. AI explains every line, suggests scripts, and helps you spot outdated dependencies.
Some examples
- Paste your package.json and ask AI to explain every field.
- Ask AI to add a 'lint', 'test', and 'build' script that match your tools.
- Have AI flag any deps that have known security issues.
- Get AI to explain devDependencies vs dependencies in plain English.
Try it!
Open the package.json of any project you have. Ask AI to explain it line by line. Then ask: 'What's missing for a typical Node project?'
