GitHub - SocketDev/socket-registry: Optimized package overrides for Socket Optimize

@socketregistry

Optimized package overrides for Socket Optimize.

Why this repo exists

@socketregistry is the monorepo behind Socket Optimize — a curated set of drop-in npm package replacements that reduce dependencies, modernize APIs, improve performance, and patch known CVEs without breaking compatibility. Every override passes the original package's own test suite, ships with TypeScript types, and stays MIT-compatible. The registry exists so socket optimize has something authoritative to swap in.

Install

Install the Socket CLI globally, then run it inside any project:

# pnpm (recommended)
pnpm add -g socket

# npm
npm install -g socket

# yarn
yarn global add socket

Usage

From your project root:

socket optimize analyzes your dependencies and suggests optimized replacements from the Socket Registry.
