spm_show_dependencies

Display the complete dependency tree for all Swift Package Manager packages in your project, including transitive dependencies. This shows the hierarchy of which packages depend on which, their resolved versions, and source URLs. Use this to understand your dependency graph, identify duplicate sub-dependencies, or audit what third-party code is included in your project.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
`projectPath`	string	No	—	Absolute path to the `.xcodeproj`, `.xcworkspace`, or directory containing `Package.swift`. If omitted, uses the current working directory.

Usage Examples

Show dependencies for an Xcode project

“Show me the full SPM dependency tree”

{
  "projectPath": "/Users/johndoe/Projects/MyApp/MyApp.xcodeproj"
}

Show dependencies for a Swift package

“What are all the transitive dependencies of my library?”

{
  "projectPath": "/Users/johndoe/Projects/MyLibrary"
}
