dependency-manager
SkillVisualizes, creates, and diagnoses dependencies between MCP work items. Use when a user says: what blocks this, add a dependency, show dependency graph, why can't this start, link these items, unblock this, remove dependency, or show blockers.

Manage BLOCKS, IS_BLOCKED_BY, and RELATES_TO edges between work items. Handles all four paths: view existing dependencies, create new edges, delete edges, and diagnose why items cannot start.
Step 1: Determine Intent
Classify the user request before making any tool calls.
Resolve $ARGUMENTS to a UUID via query_items search (operation="search", query=$ARGUMENTS, limit=5); if ambiguous, present matches via AskUserQuestion. If $ARGUMENTS is already a UUID, default intent to VIEW for that item.
If $ARGUMENTS is empty, infer intent from the surrounding conversation. If intent is still unclear, ask via AskUserQuestion: "What would you like to do with dependencies? Options: view, create, delete, diagnose."
Compound requests (e.g., "show what blocks this and remove the dependency"): handle the VIEW path first, then proceed to the second action using the results.
