Show HN: Implit – Catch fake AI-generated dependencies

Implit Stop AI hallucinations before they break your code "AI wrote code with fake packages. Implit caught them in 0.3 seconds." Quick Start • Features • Why Implit? • Examples 😱 The Problem // AI generates this code... import { awesomeAuth } from 'super-auth-lib'; // ❌ DOESN'T EXIST import { fetchUser } from './api/users'; // ❌ NO export named fetchUser import { login } from 'magic-auth'; // ❌ TYPO - should be 'magic-auth-lib' // You run npm install... 💥 BROKEN BUILD Every developer using AI has experienced this: ❌ AI invents npm packages that don't exist ❌ AI guesses wrong local import paths ❌ Security risk: hackers can register fake packages ❌ Hours wasted debugging phantom dependencies ✨ The Solution Implit scans your AI-generated code and validates every import BEFORE you run it. npx @neurall.build/implit check generated-code.ts 🔍 Checking generated-code.ts... ✓ react - Package exists on npm ✓ lodash - Package exists on npm ✗ super-auth-lib - Package NOT FOUND on npm registry ✗ ./api/users - No export named 'fetchUser' (available: getUser, deleteUser) ✗ magic-auth - Package NOT FOUND (did you mean: magic-auth-lib?) ❌ Found 3 hallucinated imports! 🚀 Quick Start Zero Config (Recommended) # Check any file instantly - no installation needed npx @neurall.build/implit check your-file.ts Global Install # Install globally for frequent use npm install -g @neurall.build/implit # Then run anywhere implit check your-file.ts Generate Fix Prompt for AI # Get a ready-to-paste prompt to feed back to your AI npx @neurall.build/implit check your-file.ts --fix Output: 📋 Fix prompt (ready to paste): Your generated code has invalid imports: 1. "super-auth-lib" does not exist on npm. 2. "./api/users" does not export "fetchUser". Available exports: getUser, deleteUser. 3. "magic-auth" does not exist. Did you mean "magic-auth-lib"? Please fix these imports and regenerate the code. 🎯 Features ✓ npm Package Verification Checks every external import against registry.npmjs.org Detects typos with fuzzy matching ("Did you mean...") Prevents supply chain attacks from fake packages ✓ Local Import Validation Scans your local files for actual exports Detects missing files Reports available exports for wrong imports ✓ Node.js Built-in Detection Automatically recognizes Node.js built-ins (fs, path, http, etc.) No false positives on standard modules ✓ Smart Caching Caches npm lookups for 24 hours Blazing fast on repeated runs Minimal network overhead ✓ Zero Config Works out of the box No setup required Just npx and go ✓ AI-Friendly Output --fix flag generates clipboard-ready prompts Feed directly back to Claude, GPT, or Gemini One-command workflow for AI-assisted coding 💡 Why Implit?
