Risky: the package is explicitly renamed and has had no registry release in over a year.

Health Score Breakdown

Package scaffolding

The README explicitly says @nrwl/devkit was renamed to @nx/devkit and will no longer be published, making this release a poor forward-looking dependency despite repository tests and changelog support.

Registry deprecation

The registry does not mark the package deprecated, which avoids an automatic withdrawal signal, but the package README provides a stronger replacement warning than the registry metadata.

Release history

The package has 1,335 releases over nearly six years, but none in the last 12 months; the long recent pause is consistent with the stated transition away from this package.

Repo package mention

The repository name does not match the package and its README does not mention @nrwl/devkit, so package ownership is less directly transparent; the organization backing and package README partly compensate.

Workflow audit

All 13 workflows were analyzed, all 81 action references are pinned, and no untrusted checkout or script-injection trigger was found; high-confidence template-injection and adhoc-package findings remain workflow hygiene concerns.
