rust-deps-visualizer

# Rust Dependencies Visualizer Generate ASCII art visualizations of your Rust project's dependency tree. ## Usage ``` /rust-deps-visualizer [--depth N] [--features] ``` **Options:** - `--depth N`: Limit tree depth (default: 3) - `--features`: Show feature flags ## Output Format ### Simple Tree (Default) ``` my-project v0.1.0 ├── tokio v1.49.0 │ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x │ └── bytes v1.x ├── serde v1.0.x │ └── serde_derive v1.0.x └── anyhow v1.x ``` ### Feature-Aware Tree ``` my-project v0.1.0 ├── tokio v1.49.0 [rt, rt-multi-thread, macros, fs, io-util] │ ├── pin-project-lite v0.2.x │ └── bytes v1.x ├── serde v1.0.x [derive] │ └── serde_derive v1.0.x (proc-macro) └── anyhow v1.x [std] ``` ## Implementation **Step 1:** Parse Cargo.toml for direct dependencies ```bash cargo metadata --format-version=1 --no-deps 2>/dev/null ``` **Step 2:** Get full dependency tree ```bash cargo tree --depth=${DEPTH:-3} ${FEATURES:+--features} 2>/dev/null ``` **Step 3:** Format as ASCII art tree Use these box-drawing characters: - `├──` for middle items - `└──` for last items - `│ ` for continuation lines ## Visual Enhancements ### Dependency Categories ``` my-project v0.1.0 │ ├─[Runtime]───────────────────── │ ├── tokio v1.49.0 │ └── async-trait v0.1.x │ ├─[Serialization]─────────────── │ ├── serde v1.0.x │ └── serde_json v1.x │ └─[Development]───────────────── ├── criterion v0.5.x └── proptest v1.x ``` ### Size Visualization (Optional) ``` my-project v0.1.0 ├── tokio v1.49.0 ████████████ 2.1 MB ├── serde v1.0.x ███████ 1.2 MB ├── regex v1.x █████ 890 KB └── anyhow v1.x ██ 120 KB ───────────────── Total: 4.3 MB ``` ## Workflow 1. Check for Cargo.toml in current directory 2. Run `cargo tree` with specified options 3. Parse output and generate ASCII visualization 4. Optionally categorize by purpose (runtime, dev, build) ## Related Skills | When | See | |------|-----| | Crate selection advice | m11-ecosystem | | Workspace management | m11-ecosystem | | Feature flag decisions | m11-ecosystem |
