ascii-dependency-graph

ascii-dependency-graph is a skill for Claude Code from rohingosling/claude-skills. It costs 16 tokens per session (385 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for drawing a dependency graph as plain-text boxes and lines. A dependency graph shows which software modules or libraries rely on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document module relationships, library dependencies, or other connected components in Markdown documentation.
Why use it?
It turns structured dependency data into a diagram that can be read in a terminal or stored in Markdown without image files.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ascii-dependency-graph scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/render_ascii_dependency_graph.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Render an ASCII dependency graph using the Python script at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/render_ascii_dependency_graph.py.

Instructions

  1. Construct a JSON object describing the dependency tree. Each node has:

    • "name": the module/dependency name (required)
    • "right": a single node connected horizontally to the right (optional)
    • "bottom": an array of child nodes connected vertically below (optional)
    • Use {"ellipsis": true} in a bottom array to insert a · · · continuation marker.
  2. Write the JSON to a temporary file in the current project's working directory (e.g. dep_graph.json).

  3. Run (use python3 on macOS/Linux, python on Windows):

    python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/render_ascii_dependency_graph.py" --file dep_graph.json
    
  4. Copy the output into the target markdown file inside a fenced code block.

  5. Delete the temporary JSON file.

Example JSON

{
    "name": "App",
    "right": {
        "name": "LibA",
        "right": { "name": "LibC" }
    },
    "bottom": [
        { "name": "LibB" },
        {
            "name": "LibD",
            "right": { "name": "LibC" }
        }
    ]
}

Box width rule

Each box has odd character width = RoundUpToNearestOdd( len(name) + 4 ). This ensures the connector exits exactly from the centre of the bottom border.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
