Is this package dead?

Check a GitHub repo, an npm package or a PyPI package: archived, renamed, moved to a successor, deprecated, or simply abandoned. If it is, we suggest maintained, licence-cleared alternatives from JustClaw-It.

Questions

How do you decide a package is dead?

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.

Is no commits for a year a problem?

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.

Let your agent pick maintained code. JustClaw-It is an MCP server with 1,449,000+ licence-cleared, quality-scored code components. Search is free; every result carries its licence and attribution.
