Dependency Graph Analysis

Overview

Use structural graphs when the real question is "how do these parts connect?" Dependency graphs help answer path, coupling, boundary, and architectural gravity questions that plain search cannot answer reliably.

When to Use

• Tracing how one module reaches another
• Finding heavily coupled files or services
• Identifying cycles and boundary leaks
• Explaining imports, calls, schema references, or pipeline dependencies
• Surfacing unexpected cross-cutting connections

Graph Types

Import Graph

Nodes are files or packages. Edges are imports or requires.
