Automatically scan code repositories for circular dependencies, create GitHub issues for violations, and alert development teams via Slack to maintain deployment safety.

Workflow Steps

1

GitHub Actions

Run dependency analysis workflow

Set up a GitHub Action that triggers on pull requests to scan the codebase using tools like madge (for JavaScript) or pydeps (for Python) to detect circular dependencies in the project structure.

2

GitHub Issues

Create issue for violations

When circular dependencies are detected, automatically create a GitHub issue with details about the violation, affected files, and suggested fixes using the GitHub API within the workflow.

3

Slack

Notify development team

Send a Slack notification to the development channel with a link to the created issue and a summary of the circular dependency problem, using Slack's webhook integration.
