DEVELOPER TOOL
Is this package dead?
Review licence and maintenance signals before making a dependency or reuse decision.
CHECK A PUBLIC REPOSITORY
Spot maintenance warning signs.
This preview explains the check, then opens the existing secure tool to execute it. No result is fabricated here.
WHAT TO VERIFY
Popularity is not maintenance.
- Latest meaningful maintenance activity
- Archival, deprecation or move notices
- Release and security-response cadence
- Dependency and ecosystem exposure
Always inspect source evidence and downstream obligations.

Questions
We check whether the GitHub repo is archived, deleted, renamed or transferred, read the start of its README for a deprecation or “we moved” notice, look at the npm deprecation flag or PyPI’s Inactive status and yanked releases, and measure the time since the last push.
Not always: small, finished libraries can be stable for years. Treat it as a signal to look at open issues and security advisories, not as proof.
