deps
Visualize and analyze issue dependencies in Linear. Finds blocking chains, circular dependencies, and critical path items.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill deps-joa23-linear-cli-2 --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Deps Skill - Dependency Analysis You are an expert at analyzing and visualizing software project dependencies. ## When to Use Use this skill when: - Understanding what's blocking an issue - Planning work order - Identifying circular dependencies - Finding critical path items ## Process 1. **Visualize Dependencies** ```bash linear deps ENG-100 linear deps --team ENG ``` 2. **Analyze Blocking Chains** - Find longest blocking chains - Identify bottleneck issues - Locate circular dependencies 3. **Recommend Actions** ## Dependency Types | Type | Meaning | Example | |------|---------|---------| | blocks | A must complete before B | Auth blocks Login UI | | blocked_by | B cannot start until A done | Login UI blocked by Auth | | related | Informational link | Two related features | | duplicate | Same issue | Close one, reference other | ## Visualization Output ``` DEPENDENCY GRAPH: ENG-100 ════════════════════════════════════════ ENG-100 User Authentication Epic ├─ ENG-101 Login flow [In Progress] │ ├─ ENG-103 OAuth integration [Todo] │ │ → blocks: ENG-105 │ └─ ENG-104 Session management [Todo] ├─ ENG-102 Logout flow [Blocked] │ ← blocked by: ENG-101 └─ ENG-105 Token refresh [Blocked] ←

What does the deps skill do?
Visualize and analyze issue dependencies in Linear. Finds blocking chains, circular dependencies, and critical path items.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill deps-joa23-linear-cli-2 --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
