name: dependency-manager description: Manage complex task dependencies with beads, resolve blockers, and optimize task execution order license: MIT compatibility: opencode metadata: audience: developers architects project-managers workflow: dependency-management task-optimization beads-graph dependencies: [task-planner]

What I do

• Analyze and manage complex task dependencies using beads graph structure
• Resolve blockers and optimize task execution order
• Visualize dependency chains and critical path analysis
• Handle dependency changes and cascade updates
• Provide risk analysis for dependency-heavy workflows

When to use me

Use when you need to:

• Resolve complex task dependencies and blockers
• Optimize task execution order for maximum efficiency
• Analyze critical path and identify bottlenecks
• Handle dependency changes during project evolution
• Visualize dependency relationships for team understanding
• Plan dependency-heavy feature releases

How I work

1. Dependency Analysis - Scan beads for task dependencies and relationships
2. Graph Construction - Build dependency graph with critical path identification
3. Blocker Resolution - Identify and resolve active blockers preventing progress
4. Optimization - Reorder tasks for efficient execution and parallelization
5. Risk Assessment - Analyze dependency risks and failure points
6. Visualization - Generate dependency graphs and critical path charts
7. Update Management - Handle dependency changes and cascade updates

What I need

• Existing beads tasks with dependency relationships
• Current project priorities and constraints
• Team capacity and resource limitations
• Timeline and milestone requirements
• Any known blockers or dependency issues

What I produce

Comprehensive dependency management outputs:

• Dependency Graph - Visual representation of all task relationships
• Critical Path Analysis - Identification of longest dependency chains
• Blocker Resolution - Clear plan for resolving current blockers
• Execution Optimization - Reordered task list for maximum efficiency
• Risk Assessment - Dependency failure points and mitigation strategies
• Parallelization Plan - Tasks that can be executed concurrently
• Cascade Updates - Automated dependency updates when tasks change
• Dependency Dashboard - Real-time view of dependency health
• Resource Optimization - Team allocation based on dependency constraints

Usage Example

"Analyze our current task dependencies and resolve blockers for the upcoming sprint"

This will provide complete dependency analysis with optimized execution order and blocker resolution strategy.
