Analyze the .asmdef dependency relationships of all modules in the project, outputting a Mermaid diagram + dependency matrix + issue detection.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

• Optional: specific module names to focus on
• No arguments: analyze all .asmdef files in the project

Execution Steps

1. Collect All .asmdef Files

Use Glob to find Assets/**/*.asmdef, excluding Tests and Editor asmdefs (filenames containing .Tests., .Editor., or .PlayModeTests.).

2. Build GUID → Name Mapping

For each .asmdef file:

• Read the .asmdef to get the name field
• Read the corresponding .asmdef.meta to get the guid field
• Build a GUID → Name lookup table

3. Parse Dependency Relationships

For each .asmdef:

• Read the GUIDs in the references array
• Convert to human-readable names via the lookup table
• Record: ModuleA → [depends on ModuleB, depends on ModuleC]

4. Output Mermaid Dependency Graph

Generate a Mermaid flowchart, arranged by layer from top to bottom:

````markdown

graph TD
    subgraph "Layer 0"
        Core
    end
    subgraph "Layer 1"
        Player
        AI
    end
    subgraph "Layer 2"
        UI
        Networking
    end

    Player --> Core
    AI --> Core
    UI --> Player
    Networking --> Core

````

• Normal dependencies: solid arrow -->
• Circular dependencies: red dashed -.->|cycle|
• Layer violations: orange bold ==>|violation|

5. Output Dependency Matrix

Use a table to show module-to-module dependencies at a glance:

| Module ↓ Depends on → | Core | Player | AI | UI | ... |
|------------------------|:----:|:------:|:--:|:--:|:---:|
| Core                   |  -   |        |    |    |     |
| Player                 |  ✓   |   -    |    |    |     |
| AI                     |  ✓   |        | -  |    |     |
| UI                     |      |   ✓    |    | -  |     |

6. Detect Issues

Circular dependency detection:

• Run DFS on the dependency graph to detect cycles
• If cycles exist, list the full circular path

Layer violation detection (try in priority order):

1. Infer from .asmdef dependency graph (default) — modules with no dependencies are Layer 0, modules depending only on Layer 0 are Layer 1, etc. This is the most accurate, reflecting actual code state
2. Analyze using statements — if no .asmdef files exist (pure directory-based project), scan using statements in .cs files, aggregate modules by namespace, and build a dependency graph from the using references
3. Read from AGENTS.md — if neither of the above can determine layers, read the manually defined architecture layers in AGENTS.md as a reference

Detect any cases where a lower layer depends on a higher layer.

7. Output Health Summary

### Dependency Health
- Total modules: N
- Average dependencies: X
- Most dependencies: ModuleName (Y dependencies)
- Circular dependencies: None / Found (list them)
- Layer violations: None / Found (list them)

8. Self-Check (Required)

After generating output, review the Mermaid diagram and matrix yourself:

• Is the Mermaid syntax valid (will it render)?
• Do the ✓ marks in the matrix match the dependency graph?
• Are the layer groupings reasonable?
• Are any modules missing?

If issues are found, fix them before presenting to the user.

Optional Arguments

If the user specifies a module name (e.g. "Player"), only analyze the dependency chain for that module (both upstream and downstream) rather than a full analysis. The Mermaid diagram should only show related modules.
