Cross-cutting OmniStudio analysis skill for namespace detection, dependency visualization, and impact analysis across OmniScripts, FlexCards, Integration Procedures, and Data Mappers. Use this skill to detect which OmniStudio namespace an org uses, build directed dependency graphs, perform impact analysis, and generate Mermaid diagrams of component relationships. TRIGGER when: user asks about OmniStudio dependencies, wants namespace detection (Core vs vlocity_cmt vs vlocity_ins), needs impact analysis, requests dependency diagrams, or asks which components are affected by a change. DO NOT TRIGGER when: authoring OmniScripts (use building-omnistudio-omniscript), building FlexCards (use building-omnistudio-flexcard), creating Integration Procedures (use building-omnistudio-integration-procedure), or configuring Data Mappers (use building-omnistudio-datamapper).

What this skill does


# analyzing-omnistudio-dependencies: OmniStudio Cross-Component Analysis

Expert OmniStudio analyst specializing in namespace detection, dependency mapping, and impact analysis across the full OmniStudio component suite. Performs org-wide inventory of OmniScripts, FlexCards, Integration Procedures, and Data Mappers with automated dependency graph construction and Mermaid visualization.

---

## Scope

- **In scope**: Namespace detection (Core / vlocity_cmt / vlocity_ins), org-wide component inventory, dependency graph construction, impact analysis, Mermaid diagram generation
- **Out of scope**: Authoring or modifying OmniScripts (use `building-omnistudio-omniscript`), building FlexCards (use `building-omnistudio-flexcard`), creating Integration Procedures (use `building-omnistudio-integration-procedure`), configuring Data Mappers (use `building-omnistudio-datamapper`)

---

## Required Inputs

Ask for or infer before starting:

| Input | Default if not provided |
|-------|------------------------|
| Target org alias | Ask the user |
| Analysis scope | Full org (all OmniStudio component types) |
| Specific component to impact-analyze | None (produce full inventory first) |
| Output format preference | All three: Mermaid diagram + JSON summary + human-readable report |

---

## Output Expectations

Each analysis run produces one or more of:

1. **Namespace detection result** — which namespace is active (Core / vlocity_cmt / vlocity_ins / not installed)
2. **Component inventory** — counts of OmniScripts, Integration Procedures, FlexCards, Data Mappers (active vs draft)
3. **Dependency graph** — directed edges between all OmniStudio components with edge type labels
4. **Mermaid diagram** — copy-pasteable Mermaid `graph LR` block for documentation
5. **JSON summary** — machine-readable namespace + components + dependencies + impact analysis
6. **Human-readable report** — plain-text summary with component counts, edge count, circular references, and most-depended components
7. **Circular reference warnings** — cycle path and risk statement for each detected cycle

---

## Core Responsibilities

1. **Namespace Detection**: Identify whether an org uses Core (Industries), vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy), or vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health) namespace
2. **Dependency Analysis**: Build directed graphs of cross-component dependencies using BFS traversal with circular reference detection
3. **Impact Analysis**: Determine which components are affected when a given OmniScript, IP, FlexCard, or Data Mapper changes
4. **Mermaid Visualization**: Generate dependency diagrams in Mermaid syntax for documentation and review
5. **Org-Wide Inventory**: Catalog all OmniStudio components by type, status, language, and version

> **CRITICAL: Orchestration Order**
>
> When multiple OmniStudio skills are involved, follow this dependency chain:
>
> `analyzing-omnistudio-dependencies` → `building-omnistudio-datamapper` → `building-omnistudio-integration-procedure` → `building-omnistudio-omniscript` → `building-omnistudio-flexcard`
>
> This skill runs first to establish namespace context and dependency maps that downstream skills consume.

## Key Insights

| Insight | Detail |
|---------|--------|
| Three namespaces coexist | Core (OmniProcess), vlocity_cmt (vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c), vlocity_ins (vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c) |
| Dependencies are stored in JSON | PropertySetConfig (elements), Definition (FlexCards), InputObjectName/OutputObjectName (Data Mappers) |
| Circular references are possible | OmniScript A → IP B → OmniScript A via embedded call |
| FlexCard data sources are typed | `dataSource.type === 'IntegrationProcedures'` (plural) in DataSourceConfig JSON |
| Active vs Draft matters | Only active components participate in runtime dependency chains |

---

## Workflow (4-Phase Pattern)

### Phase 1: Namespace Detection

**Purpose**: Determine which OmniStudio namespace the org uses before querying any component metadata.

**Detection Algorithm** — Probe objects in order until a successful COUNT() returns:

1. **Core (Industries namespace)**:
   ```soql
   SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess
   ```
   If this succeeds, the org uses the Core namespace (API 234.0+ / Spring '22+).

2. **vlocity_cmt (Communications, Media & Energy)**:
   ```soql
   SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c
   ```

3. **vlocity_ins (Insurance & Health)**:
   ```soql
   SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c
   ```

If none succeed, OmniStudio is not installed in the org.

**CLI Commands for namespace detection**:
```bash
# Core namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM OmniProcess" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_cmt namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_cmt__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null

# vlocity_ins namespace probe
sf data query --query "SELECT COUNT() FROM vlocity_ins__OmniScript__c" --target-org myorg --json 2>/dev/null
```

**Evaluate results**: A successful query (exit code 0 with `totalSize` in JSON) confirms the namespace. A query failure (`INVALID_TYPE` or `sObject type not found`) means that namespace is not present.

**See**: [references/namespace-guide.md](references/namespace-guide.md) for complete object/field mapping across all three namespaces.

### Phase 2: Component Discovery

**Purpose**: Build an inventory of all OmniStudio components in the org.

Using the detected namespace, query each component type:

**OmniScripts** (Core example — paginate with LIMIT/OFFSET for large orgs):
```soql
SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC
LIMIT 200
```

**Integration Procedures** (Core example):
```soql
SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive, VersionNumber,
       PropertySetConfig, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniProcess
WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = true
ORDER BY Type, SubType, Language, VersionNumber DESC
LIMIT 200
```

**FlexCards** (Core example):
```soql
SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, DataSourceConfig, PropertySetConfig,
       AuthorName, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniUiCard
ORDER BY Name
LIMIT 200
```

> **IMPORTANT**: The `OmniUiCard` object does NOT have a `Definition` field. Use `DataSourceConfig` for data source bindings and `PropertySetConfig` for card layout/states configuration.

**Data Mappers** (Core example):
```soql
SELECT Id, Name, IsActive, Type, LastModifiedDate
FROM OmniDataTransform
ORDER BY Name
LIMIT 200
```

**Data Mapper Items** (for object dependency extraction):
```soql
SELECT Id, OmniDataTransformationId, InputObjectName, OutputObjectName,
       InputObjectQuerySequence
FROM OmniDataTransformItem
WHERE OmniDataTransformationId IN ({datamapper_ids})
```

> **IMPORTANT**: The foreign key field is `OmniDataTransformationId` (full word "Transformation"), NOT `OmniDataTransformId`.

**CLI Command pattern**:
```bash
sf data query --query "SELECT Id, Type, SubType, Language, IsActive FROM OmniProcess WHERE IsIntegrationProcedure = false" \
  --target-org myorg --json
```

### Phase 3: Dependency Analysis

**Purpose**: Parse component metadata to build a directed dependency graph.

#### Algorithm: BFS with Circular Detection

```
1. Initialize empty graph G and visited set V
2. For each root component C:
   a. Enqueue C into work queue Q
   b. While Q is not empty:
      i.   Dequeue component X from Q
      ii.  If X is in V, record circular reference and skip
      iii. Add X to V
      iv.  Parse X's metadata for dependency references
      v.   For each dependency D found:
           - Add edge X → D to graph G
           - If D is not in V, enqueue D into Q
3. Return graph G and any circular references detected
```

#### Element Type → Dependency Extraction

OmniScript and IP elements store references in the `PropertySetConfig` JSON field. Parse each element to ext
