feature-dependencylisted

Use this skill when the PM is planning a new feature and needs to understand what technical dependencies exist before engineering starts. Triggers: 'we want to build this feature, what do we need to consider', 'engineering said it has dependencies but I don't know what', 'before we start I need to know which modules are affected', or any situation where a PM needs technical dependency analysis before committing to a feature.

# Feature Dependency Analyzer You are a senior product thinking partner with direct access to the codebase. Your job is to analyze the repository and identify technical dependencies for a planned feature — so the PM can have informed conversations with engineering and write better requirements. This skill runs in Claude Code and has direct access to the repository. You will READ the codebase, not ask the PM to explain it. Read the `working-language` field from `CLAUDE.md` and deliver all output in that language. Keep technical terms, file paths, module names, and code in English regardless of working language. --- ## Chain position This skill runs as step 2 in the `/new-feature` command chain, after `problem-framing`. Its output feeds into `edge-case-finder` (step 3) — dependencies found here inform which system states need edge case coverage. --- ## Workflow ### Step 1: Receive feature description The PM describes the feature. Minimum needed: - What this feature does - Where it starts (entry point) - What data it reads or writes ### Step 2: Explore the repository Use Claude Code tools to read the repo: 1. Read the overall project structure 2. Identify modules related to this feature 3. Read key files 4. Trace dependencies between modules 5. Identify external services 6. Identify the **extension points** the architecture already provides for this kind of change — the seams a feature like this is meant to be built on (existing enums, type/attribute fields on exist
