What it does
Dependency Graph is an agent skill from athola/claude-night-market. Generates a Mermaid dependency graph showing import relationships between modules. Use when analyzing coupling, finding circular deps, or planning refactors.
Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Development, covering Diagrams and Refactoring. It works with Mermaid and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: 23 Claude Code plugins: TDD enforcement hooks, git/PR workflows, spec-driven development, code review, project lifecycle, fix-from-error, maintenance automation, context… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Analyzing coupling
- Finding circular deps
- Planning refactors
Example prompts
- “Use the dependency-graph skill to generate a Mermaid dependency graph showing import relationships between modules”
- “/dependency-graph”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f3eb00. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are mermaid).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Dependency Graph loads about 835 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 276 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Generates a Mermaid dependency graph showing import relationships between modules. Use when analyzing coupling, finding circular deps, or planning refactors.
Dependency Graph
Generate a Mermaid flowchart showing import and dependency relationships between modules, packages, or plugins.
When To Use
- Understanding what depends on what
- Finding circular dependencies
- Analyzing coupling between modules
- Planning refactoring by seeing dependency impact
- Answering "what breaks if I change this?"
When NOT To Use
- Runtime call paths (use
cartograph:call-chain) - Type hierarchies (use
cartograph:class-diagram)
Workflow
Step 1: Explore the Codebase
Dispatch the codebase explorer agent:
Agent(cartograph:codebase-explorer)
Prompt: Explore [scope] and return a structural model.
Focus on import statements and cross-module dependencies
for a dependency graph. Track both internal and external
imports.Step 2: Generate Mermaid Syntax
Transform the structural model into a Mermaid flowchart with directed edges representing dependencies.
Rules for dependency graphs:
- Use
flowchart LR(left-right) for dependency direction - Each node is a module or package
- Edges point from dependent to dependency (A --> B means "A depends on B")
- Color-code by dependency type:
- Default arrows for internal dependencies
- Dotted arrows (
-.->) for external/optional deps - Thick arrows (
==>) for critical path dependencies
- Group into subgraphs by package/plugin
- If depth parameter given, limit transitive dependencies
- Highlight circular dependencies with red styling
Example output:
flowchart LR
subgraph sanctum[Sanctum]
commit[commit]
pr_prep[pr_prep]
workspace[workspace]
end
subgraph leyline[Leyline]
git[git_platform]
errors[error_patterns]
end
subgraph external[External]
subprocess[subprocess]
json[json]
end
commit --> git
commit --> json
pr_prep --> workspace
pr_prep --> git
workspace --> errors
workspace -.-> subprocessStep 3: Render via MCP
Call the Mermaid Chart MCP to render:
mcp__claude_ai_Mermaid_Chart__validate_and_render_mermaid_diagram
prompt: "Dependency graph of [scope]"
mermaidCode: [generated syntax]
diagramType: "flowchart"
clientName: "claude-code"If rendering fails, fix syntax and retry (max 2 retries).
Step 4: Present Results
Show the rendered diagram with analysis notes:
- Total modules and dependency count
- Most-depended-on modules (high fan-in)
- Modules with most dependencies (high fan-out)
- Circular dependencies if any detected
Exit Criteria
- Mermaid
flowchart LRsyntax generated with directed edges from dependent to dependency (A --> B means "A depends on B") -
mcp__claude_ai_Mermaid_Chart__validate_and_render_mermaid_diagramcalled and returns without error - Analysis notes include total module count, highest fan-in modules, and highest fan-out modules
- Circular dependencies, if detected, are highlighted with red styling and listed explicitly in the analysis notes
- External dependencies use dotted arrows (
-.->) distinct from internal dependency arrows
