SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Developers often need to understand the structure of their Rust project's dependencies, which can be hidden in Cargo.toml and hard to visualize, leading to confusion and difficulty managing versions or features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • ASCII Dependency Tree: Generates a clear, indented tree of crates with versions using cargo tree.
  • Depth Control: Optionally limit the depth of the tree for large projects.
  • Feature Awareness: Include feature flags for crates when requested.
  • Use Case: Quickly inspect a project's runtime and dev dependencies before a release or when debugging version conflicts.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to show the dependency tree of the current Rust project up to three levels deep.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize Rust crate dependencies as an ASCII tree?▼

You can visualize Rust crate dependencies as an ASCII tree by running this Skill, which uses `cargo tree` to generate an indented visual representation of your project's dependency graph for version auditing.

Can I limit the depth of a Rust dependency tree for large projects?▼

Yes, you can limit the depth of a Rust dependency tree for large projects by passing an optional depth argument, which restricts the ASCII tree output to a specific number of levels.

Does this dependency visualizer support showing Cargo feature flags?▼

Yes, the dependency visualizer supports showing Cargo feature flags by accepting optional feature arguments, allowing you to include feature awareness directly in the ASCII dependency tree output.

What Cargo tooling is required to generate a Rust dependency graph?▼

Generating a Rust dependency graph requires the standard Cargo tooling, specifically `cargo metadata` and `cargo tree`, which the Skill uses to extract crate versions and structure the ASCII tree.

When should I visualize my Rust project dependencies before a release?▼

You should visualize your Rust project dependencies before a release to quickly inspect runtime and dev dependencies, audit crate versions, and debug version conflicts that might otherwise remain hidden in Cargo.toml.
