I built an open-source dependency intelligence platform in TypeScript — here's how it works
Zayd Mulani has developed an open-source dependency intelligence platform called depgraph using TypeScript. This tool helps teams identify risky dependencies before they cause issues by providing a live risk-scored dependency graph. It includes features like risk scoring, an interactive graph, and a policy engine to manage package approvals.
- ▪Depgraph crawls npm, PyPI, and Cargo registries to assess package risks.
- ▪Packages are scored based on security, maintenance, compatibility, concentration, blast radius, and operational health.
- ▪The platform allows users to define rules for package management and runs checks on pull requests.

A maintainer disappears, a vulnerability sits unpatched for months, or a single package with one contributor becomes a hidden outage waiting to happen. I wanted a tool that told you this stuff before it became a problem.
