Effectiveness · benchmark pending
We haven't benchmarked Depwire yet, so its score is provisional — computed from safety, maintenance, and documentation only, with popularity given no weight. When we benchmark it, we measure whether it produces materially better output than a frontier model alone, and that result leads the score. How we measure.
About Depwire
Description · AI-summarised from the depwire README
Depwire is a deterministic code analysis tool that parses codebases across 16 programming languages using tree-sitter to build exact symbol-level dependency graphs. Unlike RAG-based approaches, it uses compiler-level precision to answer architectural questions: what breaks if you delete a function, what's the blast radius of a change, and what vulnerabilities are reachable from entry points. It integrates with AI assistants (Claude, Cursor) via 23 MCP tools and provides CLI commands for What If simulation, security scanning, architecture health scoring, visualization, and temporal analysis. All computation runs locally with no data transmission.

Install the "Depwire" skill into my project by following all instructions at https://skillsdirectory.co/s/depwire-depwire
Your assistant reads /s/depwire-depwire and follows it — fetching the files from the source, placing them, and confirming before it runs anything. No account needed. How this works.
