Is this skill specific to mobile development?

While it includes specialized knowledge for mobile frameworks like CloudKit and local inference, its core logic for tracing dependencies and analyzing architectural risks is applicable to any modular software project.

How does this skill detect circular dependencies?

The skill traces import statements and service calls across your codebase to identify recursive loops where modules depend on each other, providing specific suggestions on how to extract common types to break the cycle.

What kind of output does the mapper provide?

It generates text-based dependency graphs, detailed change impact reports including risk levels, and specific warnings for architectural 'red flags' like service locator patterns or deep indirection.

Can it predict if a change will break other features?

Yes, it performs a cascade change risk assessment to identify which direct and indirect services are impacted when a specific file, model, or service is modified, allowing for better test coverage.

Mobile Development

Maps complex architectural interconnections to prevent circular imports and predict the ripple effects of code changes.

The Feature Dependency Mapper acts as a dedicated architecture analyst for complex modular applications. It systematically traces import statements and service calls to build comprehensive dependency graphs, identifies high-risk circular dependencies, and provides detailed impact assessments before major refactors. By analyzing both direct and indirect relationships—including shared models, notification triggers, and cloud sync dependencies—it helps developers maintain a clean, decoupled codebase and avoid regression errors in critical user flows. This skill is essential for maintaining large-scale projects where changing a single shared utility can have unforeseen consequences across multiple features.
