Check a repo's already installed packages

Expected Behavior

I think a good feature of npq would be to check if the repo's already installed packages have any issues, in the same way that it checks if a package has any issues when we want to install it. It would be a great improvement and could help set up a CI check for installed packages!

Possible Solution

Perhaps a new command npq check that detects the package.json in the current directory and runs the marshalls on all found packages in dependencies and devDependencies and reports any issues; here of course it wouldn't ask for confirmation before installing since the packages are already installed.

Yep, that's a great idea!
As simple as just traversing the direct packages, right? otherwise we might be needing to go through hundreds or thousands of them and it'll be slow and also perhaps not very actionable if you don't have a way to fix them.

Would you like to work on this? I'd be happy to merge it in

Yes of course, just the top-level packages.

I have a bit of work for now but I think I can start working on it in 2 or 3 weeks. Thanks!

Sure, no rush! thanks for suggesting. Take the time you need, these are challenging time.
Stay safe and healthy ❤️
