SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Managing dependencies between skills and artifacts becomes error-prone as a catalog grows: missing edges, circular references, and unclear upgrade blast radius can silently break compositions. This Skill parses skill contracts to build a verified dependency graph and report actionable findings. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Dependency Graph Generation: Builds directed graphs of skill-to-skill dependencies and artifact producer/consumer relationships from contract declarations. - Cycle and Conflict Detection: Identifies cycles, unreachable nodes, missing dependencies, and conflicting ownership chains with concrete node paths. - Upgrade Impact Assessment: Enumerates downstream dependents and compatibility risk points before a contract lifecycle change. - Use Case: Before introducing a new composition edge or changing a skill's lifecycle status, run this Skill to confirm the graph stays acyclic and to see exactly which downstream skills would be affected. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate the skill dependency graph and report any cycles or missing dependencies before adding a new composition edge.

Frequently Asked Questions about skill-dependency-manager

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect circular dependencies between skills?▼

Run the dependency analysis to build a directed graph from contract-declared edges, which detects cycles automatically. Every cycle finding includes a concrete node path so you can trace and break the loop.

How to assess upgrade impact before changing a skill contract?▼

The upgrade impact assessment enumerates all downstream dependents of a skill and flags compatibility risk points. Impact paths are traceable from the source change to each affected dependent.

What is the difference between skill-dependency-manager and dependency-maintenance?▼

skill-dependency-manager handles the skill and artifact dependency graph, while dependency-maintenance covers application package dependencies. Use this Skill only for contract-level composition edges, not npm or package manager dependencies.

What inputs does the dependency graph analysis require?▼

It requires skill metadata and artifact ownership inventory from skill-inventory outputs, plus contract-declared composition edges and optional version constraints. The Skill fails closed if inventory artifacts are unavailable or inconsistent.

Can this Skill automatically fix dependency problems it finds?▼

No, it is analytical and read-only by default. Any dependency remediation that mutates contracts requires explicit approval through its approval gates before changes are made.
