Tools
| Tool | Description | Behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| alternatives | Curated alternatives to a library, each with a one-line "prefer it when" and a verdict if the alternative is also indexed. | Read-only |
| audit_dependencies | Audit a project's dependencies for unmaintained packages, unstable APIs, and documented reasons to switch. Pass the contents of package.json, requirements.txt, or pyproject.toml. Returns only the dependencies worth a decision, not a report on every line. Run this before working in an unfamiliar codebase. | Read-only |
| docs_link | Official docs URL and GitHub repo for a library, one line each. Use when the clamped answers are not enough. | Read-only |
| how_do_i | Return the 1-2 best code snippets for a task with a library, plus the gotcha for each. Snippets are correct for the indexed version. Far cheaper in tokens than a docs dump. | Read-only |
| pick_library | Given a coding task, recommend 1-3 libraries from the should-i-use index with one-line reasoning and an honest warning about the top pick. Use before installing anything. | Read-only |
| should_i_use | Honest verdict on a specific library: 4-axis scores with reasons, when to skip it, and maintenance signals (last push, weekly downloads). | Read-only |
