SPM Dependencies

About

The SPM Dependencies tool bridges a critical gap for coding agents by making otherwise hidden Swift Package Manager dependency code accessible. This tool allows automated systems to easily locate, search, and analyze the source code of dependencies, which are often buried in directories like `DerivedData`. By exposing this information, it significantly enhances the ability of AI and other automated tools to understand, debug, and interact with the complete codebase of a project, fostering more intelligent development workflows.

Key Features

• List all files contained within a specific dependency
• Search through dependency code using ripgrep with customizable parameters
• List dependencies with their resolved versions and disk locations
• Read content from any file within dependencies using sed with customizable parameters
• 1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Inspect resolved versions and exact file locations of project dependencies
• Enable coding agents to access and analyze hidden Swift Package Manager dependency code
• Perform global code searches across all project and third-party dependency source files
