Users working with dependencies, imports, audit who want the documented v1.0.0 behavior.
People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.

Intended result

Explain declared dependencies from observable imports and flag apparently unused packages.

This summary is reconciled from the current catalog and repository documentation.

Features in v1.0.0

Capabilities below come from the current project README and release documentation.

[](https://github.com/loganpendragonmultiverse/dependency-purpose-annotator/actions/workflows/ci.yml)

Explain declared dependencies from observable imports and flag apparently unused packages. The command uses explicit UTF-8 JSON input and produces reviewable JSON or Markdown output.

Verified examples

Screenshots are shown only when the current README references a local source image. Otherwise, repository example files are linked directly.

Platforms and implementation

Python

Quick start

The shortest documented path into the current release.

python -m pip install .
dependency-purpose examples/sample.json
dependency-purpose examples/sample.json --format json --output report.json

The example documents the v1 input shape. Existing report files are never overwritten. Source inputs are read-only except where the documented purpose explicitly creates a new output artifact.

Current limitations

These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.

Static import evidence is incomplete for plugins, reflection, command-line tools, generated code, and optional dependencies. Findings require human review.

Privacy and licensing

Review the actual data boundary before using a tool with sensitive inputs.

Privacy and safety

The tool runs locally and does not upload input or include telemetry. Python 3.10 or newer is supported on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

License and release

Dependency Purpose Annotator is published under MIT. The current cataloged release is v1.0.0, published 2026-07-27.
