Dependency Analysis

Blocked tasks are those waiting on other work to complete. Use dependency analysis to query Task Orchestrator data by featureId, which returns a prioritized list of currently blocked tasks and the specific dependencies holding them up.

Bottleneck analysis ranks tasks by how many other tasks depend on them. The Skill identifies which tasks, when resolved first, unblock the most downstream work, enabling you to prioritize resolution for maximum parallelism.

Dependency chain analysis traces the complete path of dependencies in either direction from a task. It builds the full graph showing how tasks connect, which helps you see indirect blockers and plan resolution order across your feature.

Yes. By identifying blocked tasks and bottlenecks, dependency analysis reveals which tasks can run in parallel once their dependencies are resolved, helping you structure work for maximum concurrency and faster overall completion.

You need access to Task Orchestrator task data and dependency records. Provide either a featureId to analyze all tasks in a feature, or a specific taskId to investigate a single task and its blockers.

Manual task lists don't reveal hidden blockers or bottlenecks—tasks blocking many others often aren't obvious. Dependency analysis automatically ranks and chains these relationships, exposing the critical path and resolution priorities you'd miss by inspection alone.
