WHAT IT DOES

What does it do?

can-i-remove-this is an Agent Skill that reviews JavaScript dependencies delivered to browsers with removal as its starting point. Rather than drawing conclusions from package.json alone, it traces imports, re-exports, wrappers, callers, workspaces, and browser-server boundaries. It compares the actual production bundle, user environment, and replacement implementation costs. When evidence is insufficient, it gives an INVESTIGATE verdict and identifies the evidence needed. Its default audit is read-only and does not modify code or remove packages unless separately requested.
