dependency-analysis
Helps your agent understand how different code parts connect. It analyzes dependencies between modules, packages, and files. Useful for seeing the impact of changes.
What it does
This tool helps understand how different parts of a software project are connected. It shows which modules, packages, or files depend on each other.
When to use it
- ✓When you want to know which code parts use a specific function.
- ✓When you need to see all dependencies of a module.
- ✓When you want to identify circular relationships between components.
Example of what to ask your AI
“Which modules depend on the 'authentication' module?”

How it works
The tool uses a technology called Ontoly to analyze connections. It checks for dependencies and dependents, and can even find cycles.
Installation
Easiest way: copy the skill link and paste it into Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor asking it to follow the instructions.
In the terminal (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor), in your project folder:

When to Use
- Use when this upstream workflow matches the user's stated goal.
- Use when the task requires the procedures documented in this skill.
Dependency Analysis
Use this skill when the user asks for dependency analysis using Ontoly evidence.
Required Workflow
Follow [the shared Ontoly workflow. Also read [graph evidence rules, [MCP usage, [best practices, and [fallback rules when the task requires detail.
Ontoly Capabilities
Use these capabilities first: FindDependencies, FindDependents, FindCycles, GraphStatistics, EvidencePack.
Output Contract
Return:
- answer or plan
- capabilities invoked
- graph evidence with node ids, edge types, source spans, and graph hash when available
- confidence: high, medium, or low
- fallback reason if repository files were inspected
Boundaries
Do not implement compiler, query, MCP, SDK, or business logic in the skill. Do not search repository files until Ontoly cannot answer or evidence must be confirmed.

FAQ
What is Ontoly?
Ontoly is a technology used to analyze relationships and dependencies within a software project.
What are dependencies?
Dependencies are connections where one part of the software needs another part to work.
What is a dependency cycle?
A cycle occurs when two or more parts of the software depend on each other in a loop, which can be problematic.
