It handles transitive dependencies, supports subgraph exploration, shows license category breakdowns and statistics, and includes an AI-powered summary using the browser's Summarization API. Use cases include identifying restrictive licenses, finding duplicate packages, understanding why a package was included, and preparing compliance reports. Run it instantly with `npx license-kit visualize`. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
