3 Key Points

  1. Neurall built Implit, a command-line tool that scans code for hallucinated imports—fake npm packages, wrong file paths, and typos that AI assistants like ChatGPT and Claude frequently generate. Run it with npx @neurall.build/implit check your-file.ts and it validates every import against the actual npm registry and your local files in under a second.

  2. Unlike IDE linters that only flag errors after packages fail to install, Implit catches fake dependencies before you run npm install, preventing broken builds. It also auto-suggests corrections (e.g., "did you mean magic-auth-lib?") and can generate a fix prompt you paste directly back into your AI assistant to regenerate the broken code.

  3. For any developer using AI to write code, this eliminates hours of debugging phantom dependencies and cuts the security risk of hackers registering typosquatter packages (fake packages with names similar to real ones). DevOps teams can integrate it into CI/CD pipelines to reject PRs with hallucinated imports before they merge.
