Auto-detect Circular Dependencies → Create GitHub Issue → Notify Team
Automatically scan code repositories for circular dependencies, create GitHub issues for violations, and alert development teams via Slack to maintain deployment safety.
Workflow Steps
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.
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.
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.

Why This Works
This workflow catches dependency issues early in the development process, creates accountability through issue tracking, and ensures immediate team awareness to prevent problematic code from reaching production.
