kiss-dependency-map

name	kiss-dependency-map
description	Renders the project's internal module-dependency graph + external dependency list as a Mermaid diagram. Works from imports + the lockfile produced by kiss-codebase-scan. Use when visualising module dependencies, understanding code structure, or identifying circular dependencies and coupling.
compatibility	Requires kiss project structure with .kiss/ directory
metadata	{"author":"github-kiss","source":"agent-skills/kiss-dependency-map/kiss-dependency-map.md"}
user-invocable	true

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

Audience and tone (interactive mode)

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=interactive (the default), assume the user has limited technical background and limited domain knowledge — they may know basics but lack deep expertise in this skill's area. Run this skill as a guided questionnaire:

• One question at a time. No walls of questions.
• Yes / no first. Phrase so yes, no, not sure, or skip is a valid answer.
• Translate jargon, don't strip it. Use the technical term but always pair it with a plain-English gloss the first time it appears.
• Choices, not blank fields. When yes/no isn't enough, offer 2-4 lettered options (A/B/C/D) with one-line plain-language descriptions of the trade-off. Always include "Not sure — pick a sensible default".
• Always recommend. State the option you would pick and why in one sentence so the user can reply "yes" / "ok" to accept. Pull defaults from upstream artefacts (spec, architecture, ADRs, standards) before asking blank.
• Show, don't ask. When upstream artefacts already imply an answer, propose it as a pre-filled finding and ask for a yes / no confirmation rather than asking the user to fill in a blank.
• not sure / skip triggers a sensible default, marked "(default applied — confirm later)" in the artefact, and a debt entry in this skill's debt file.

When KISS_AGENT_MODE=auto (or --auto), skip the questionnaire entirely: apply sensible defaults from upstream artefacts and log decisions to the parent agent's decision log.

Inputs

• .kiss/context.yml
• {context.paths.docs}/analysis/codebase-scan.md
• Source imports; project lockfile

Outputs

• {context.paths.docs}/analysis/dependencies.md
• assets/module-graph.mmd

Context Update

Does not mutate .kiss/context.yml.

Handoffs

• kiss-dependency-audit extends this with CVEs + licences.
• kiss-quality-review flags circular / high-fan-out modules.

AI authoring scope

Does: list top-N internal modules by fan-in + fan-out, render a Mermaid flowchart, list external deps with versions, flag circular imports.

Does not: modify imports; install / upgrade packages.
