Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

This skill trims unused packages from a Laravel project's composer.json file, reducing the project’s size and improving dependency management. It identifies dependencies that are no longer required based on your codebase and removes them safely. This helps maintain cleaner projects and potentially improve performance by minimizing unnecessary downloads and processing.

composer.jsonfile. - Your project has accumulated dependencies that are no longer used due to refactoring or feature removal.
- You’re preparing a Laravel package for distribution and want to minimize its footprint.
- You suspect your dependency list is bloated and want to streamline it.
Key capabilities
- Analyzes the codebase to identify unused dependencies.
