The problem it solves

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

Who Dependency Purpose Annotator is for

  • Developers and maintainers who need reviewable evidence before changing or releasing software.
  • Users working with dependencies, imports, audit who want the documented v1.1.0 behavior.
  • People who prefer an open-source release with visible limitations, source, and license terms.

Intended result

Correct scoped imports, parse Python AST evidence, separate standard/local modules, and add reviewed purposes, mappings, exceptions and baseline diffs.

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

Features in v1.1.0

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

01

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

02

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

The public release claims only the cataloged platforms and technologies.

Supported platforms

What changed in v1.1.0

Correct scoped imports, parse Python AST evidence, separate standard/local modules, and add reviewed purposes, mappings, exceptions and baseline diffs.

dependency-purpose examples/sample.json --format json

Input may include import_mappings such as {"PIL":"Pillow"}, purposes and exceptions as dependency-name-to-text objects, plus baseline containing a prior JSON report. Evidence includes source line numbers. Python standard-library imports and local root/src modules are reported separately. JavaScript token scanning supports static ESM, side-effect imports, require and literal dynamic imports while skipping comments and string contents. Computed imports, custom aliases, regex literals and advanced bundler resolution remain outside this conservative static analysis. An exception records the operator's rationale; it never proves runtime use or deletes a dependency.

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 v1.1.0, published 2026-09-07.
