## What it is
A CLI tool that analyzes your npm/yarn dependencies and reports which packages take the most disk space and slow down installation. It helps identify dependency bloat so you can trim your node_modules.

## Use cases
- find out which npm dependencies are slowing down installs
- measure the size of each package in node_modules
- identify dependency bloat before publishing a package
- compare install cost of dependencies with yarn or npm
- include devDependencies in a size audit

## When to choose
- you publish npm packages and want to minimize install size for users
- you want a quick one-command report of your heaviest dependencies
- your project uses npm or yarn and you suspect dependency bloat

## When to avoid
- you need bundle-size analysis of shipped JavaScript rather than installed dependency size
- your project does not use npm or yarn
- you need actively maintained tooling with recent ecosystem support

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, cli, package-manager
- domain: developer-tools, performance
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: npm, yarn, dependency-analysis, bundle-size, install-speed, javascript, command-line, nodejs
