dependency-manager — Dependency Visualization, Creation, and Diagnosis

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.
