Render an ASCII dependency graph using the Python script at ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/render_ascii_dependency_graph.py.

Instructions

Construct a JSON object describing the dependency tree. Each node has:
- "name": the module/dependency name (required)
- "right": a single node connected horizontally to the right (optional)
- "bottom": an array of child nodes connected vertically below (optional)
- Use {"ellipsis": true} in a bottom array to insert a · · · continuation marker.
Write the JSON to a temporary file in the current project's working directory (e.g. dep_graph.json).

Run (use python3 on macOS/Linux, python on Windows):

python3 "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/render_ascii_dependency_graph.py" --file dep_graph.json

Copy the output into the target markdown file inside a fenced code block.
Delete the temporary JSON file.

Example JSON

{
    "name": "App",
    "right": {
        "name": "LibA",
        "right": { "name": "LibC" }
    },
    "bottom": [
        { "name": "LibB" },
        {
            "name": "LibD",
            "right": { "name": "LibC" }
        }
    ]
}

Box width rule

Each box has odd character width = RoundUpToNearestOdd( len(name) + 4 ). This ensures the ┬ connector exits exactly from the centre of the bottom border.
