ClickUp Dependency Map Builder

Find the work blocking other work.

Helps teams see the true order of execution and unblock dependencies before project plans stall.

Reads tasks, statuses, and linked work to identify dependency chains that threaten timelines or require owner coordination.

How it runs

Multi-agent orchestration — here's the flow, step by step.

01

Call verslay_recall to retrieve prior dependency maps and critical-path snapshots from memory. Then call clickup-workspace-orchestrator to fetch all tasks in the target space or list — including task IDs, names, statuses, assignees, due dates, and all explicit dependency links (blocking/blocked-by/waiting-on). Build a raw dependency graph adjacency list. Store as Phase 1 output.

pm scanner
02

Consume Phase 1 adjacency list. Apply graph traversal (BFS/DFS) to identify: (a) the critical path (longest dependency chain to final milestone), (b) bottleneck nodes (tasks with the highest in-degree — most tasks waiting on them), (c) orphaned tasks (no dependencies, no dependents), and (d) circular dependency risks. Call verslay_scholar_search targeting 'critical path method project management' and 'dependency graph analysis techniques' for methodological grounding. Produce a dependency risk analysis report.

data analyst
02

In parallel with data-analyst, call verslay_web_search and verslay_news_search targeting 'project dependency management best practices' and 'task blocking patterns in agile teams'. Pull benchmarks on acceptable dependency chain lengths and bottleneck ratios. Pass benchmark data to Phase 3.

web researcher
03

Consume Phase 2 dependency risk analysis. For each bottleneck node identified, pull the full task detail: current status, assignee, last comment, and any overdue sub-tasks. Flag bottleneck tasks that are currently blocked or overdue — these are the highest-priority unblocking targets. Produce an enriched bottleneck registry with owner context.

clickup workspace orchestrator
04

Consume Phase 3 bottleneck registry and Phase 2 analysis. Call verslay_chart_create to render a visual dependency map (node-link diagram showing task relationships and critical path highlighted) and a bottleneck severity bar chart (tasks ranked by in-degree). Format the dependency map report with critical path, bottleneck list, orphan list, and recommended unblocking actions.

report formatter
05

Consume Phase 4 formatted dependency map report. Write a PM-ready narrative: summary of the dependency landscape, top three bottleneck risks with owner accountability, critical-path timeline to final milestone, and recommended task sequencing adjustments. Call verslay_memorize to store the updated dependency map and bottleneck registry in memory.

executive briefing writer
05

Receive the dependency map report from executive-briefing-writer. Deliver to the configured Slack channel or PM email. Confirm delivery and log send timestamp.
