## What it is
Taze is a modern CLI tool for checking and updating npm dependencies in package.json files. It supports safe in-range updates by default, major/minor/patch bump modes, first-class monorepo support, and JSON output for AI agents.

## Use cases
- update npm dependencies to latest versions
- check for outdated packages in a monorepo
- bump dependencies across major versions safely
- keep package.json versions fresh without installing
- update GitHub Actions versions in workflows
- get dependency update info as JSON for agents

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install (npx) dependency updater
- you work in npm/pnpm/yarn monorepos and need recursive updates
- you prefer safe in-range bumps by default with opt-in major upgrades

## When to avoid
- you need automatic lockfile regeneration and install as part of the update
- your project is not Node.js/npm-based
- you need scheduled automated dependency PRs rather than a manual CLI
