npkill ★ 9477 257 APPLICATION

npkill is a TypeScript CLI/TUI application that scans filesystems to find node_modules (and other ecosystem build/dependency directories) consuming disk space, then interactively or programmatically deletes them. The core engine (Npkill class) exposes RxJS observable streams for scanning, size calculation, newest-file detection, deletion, and logging, with a worker_threads-based parallel directory traversal. The CLI layer adds a raw-mode interactive terminal UI with cursor navigation, multi-select deletion, search filtering, JSON/NDJSON output modes, --dry-run, .npkillrc config file support, and user-defined profiles. It ships both as a bin executable and as a programmatic Node library per API.md.
