SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers understand and visualize the complex relationships between different modules and files in a codebase, making it easier to refactor, debug, and maintain software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dependency Graph Generation: Creates visual representations of import/require relationships.
  • Circular Dependency Detection: Identifies and helps resolve problematic cyclic dependencies.
  • Impact Analysis: Shows which files are affected by changes in a specific module.
  • Use Case: Before making a significant change to a core utility module, use this Skill to identify all other parts of the codebase that rely on it, ensuring no unintended consequences.

Quick Start

Use the dependency-mapper skill to generate a visual dependency graph for the 'src/' directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize circular dependencies in a JavaScript project?

To visualize circular dependencies in JavaScript, this skill analyzes import and require relationships to detect cyclic modules and generates a visual dependency graph for architectural understanding. It utilizes tools like madge to map the codebase structure.

What is the best way to analyze module impact before refactoring code?

The best way to analyze module impact before refactoring is to map code dependencies, which identifies all files affected by changes to a specific module. This ensures no unintended consequences occur during significant modifications to core utilities.

Can I map Python import relationships and dependency trees?

Yes, you can map Python import relationships and dependency trees. The skill analyzes Python projects to visualize import relationships and detect circular dependencies using tools like pipdeptree for architectural understanding.

Does dependency mapping work with TypeScript files?

Yes, dependency mapping works with TypeScript files. The skill analyzes and visualizes code dependencies within TypeScript projects by identifying import and require relationships to help you debug and maintain software.

How do I generate a dependency graph for a specific directory?

To generate a dependency graph for a specific directory, you target the folder like 'src/' to create visual representations of import relationships. This maps the module impact and highlights any circular dependencies within that scope.
