Skill Dependency Fan Out Inspector

Skill Dependency Fan-Out Inspector

Use this skill to make cross-skill invocation risk explicit before it causes cost or latency blowups.

Workflow

1. Scan skill metadata under skill-candidates/.
2. Build a dependency graph from explicit $skill-name references.
3. Flag fan-out hotspots, high transitive reach, and cycles.
4. Emit JSON and optional DOT graph artifacts.

Inspect Graph

python3 "$CODEX_HOME/skills/skill-dependency-fan-out-inspector/scripts/dependency_inspector.py" \
  --skills-root skill-candidates \
  --fanout-threshold 4 \
  --transitive-threshold 12 \
  --json-out /tmp/skill-dependency-report.json \
  --dot-out /tmp/skill-dependency-graph.dot \
  --format table

Use --include-plain-names when legacy skills mention dependencies without $ prefixes.

Scope Boundary

Use this skill only for the skill-dependency-fan-out-inspector lane and workflow defined in this file and its references.

Do not use this skill for unrelated lanes; route those through $skill-hub and the most specific matching skill.

Loopback

If this lane is unresolved, blocked, or ambiguous:

1. Capture current evidence and failure context.
2. Route back through $skill-hub for chain recalculation.
3. Resume only after the updated chain returns a deterministic next step.
