packguard scans

Lists every (path, ecosystem) the local store knows about.

Synopsis


packguard scans [--json]

When to use it

report, audit, and graph all need a scan in the store for the path they’re given. When one of them bails with:


error: no cached scan found for /some/path.
       available scans: ./apps/web, ./apps/api
       run `packguard scan <path>` or pass --project <path>.

— packguard scans is the quick way to see what is in the store, rather than guessing. Same rows feed that stderr hint.

Examples


# Human-readable table.
packguard scans
 
# Machine-readable — same DTOs the dashboard uses.
packguard scans --json

Sample output


path                ecosystem   packages   last scan
./apps/web          npm         91         2026-04-20T19:24:19Z
./apps/api          pypi        27         2026-04-20T19:24:22Z
./apps/worker       npm         42         2026-04-20T19:24:25Z
./apps/worker       pypi        18         2026-04-20T19:24:26Z

packguard scan — populates rows in this list.
Per-project scoping — how monorepos get multiple rows per ecosystem.
