Dependency Graph Generator Skill

Overview

Generates module dependency graphs with circular dependency identification, coupling metrics calculation, and visualization output in Graphviz or D3 formats.

Capabilities

  • Generate module dependency graphs
  • Identify circular dependencies
  • Calculate coupling metrics (afferent, efferent)
  • Calculate instability metrics
  • Visualize dependencies (Graphviz, D3)
  • Package/module level analysis
  • External dependency tracking

Target Processes

  • microservices-decomposition
  • refactoring-plan
  • migration-strategy
