React Doctor is a diagnostic CLI tool for React applications that scans your project, detects structural issues, dependency problems, anti-patterns, and suggests actionable fixes based on React ecosystem best practices.
Think of it as a doctor for your React codebase — helping you identify, understand, and fix potential problems automatically.
