@types/mkdirp

Registry deprecationdanger

The entire package is marked deprecated, with npm explicitly stating that mkdirp now provides its own type definitions. This is a severe adoption risk for a new dependency.

Build provenancecaution

No build attestation or trusted publisher information is available. This limits provenance verification, though the package's tiny, inspectable artifact reduces the practical significance of the gap.

Dependency profilecaution

The package declares one runtime dependency, mkdirp. That dependency is not inherently excessive, but it adds no compensating value to a package whose type definitions are no longer needed.

Release historycaution

The package has 18 releases since 2016, but its latest release was over three years ago and it had no releases in the last 12 months. This is consistent with a retired package and reinforces the deprecation status.

Type declarationscaution

The package contains no type declarations despite being an @types package. The README explains that this is intentional because mkdirp now provides its own definitions, but it confirms that this release offers no typing value.
