Dependency NPXification

Audit project dependencies and identify packages that can be replaced with npx or pnpm dlx to reduce the installed dependency count.

Package Manager Detection

Check the project for lockfiles to determine the package manager:

• pnpm-lock.yaml → use pnpm dlx
• package-lock.json → use npx
• yarn.lock → use npx (yarn dlx also works but npx is more universal)

Workflow

Step 1: Read all package.json files

Find all package.json files in the project (root + workspaces). For each, catalog all dependencies and devDependencies.

Step 2: Analyze each dependency
