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
