Post Description

Built this because I kept wanting a quick answer to: what does adding this dependency actually do to my project structure?

Still early. The most useful thing so far has been simulating removal and surfacing which package has the biggest structural impact.

Happy to answer questions or hear where this feels useful vs not useful.
