Visualizing Build Graphs
summary
Skyscope visualizes Bazel Skyframe dumps by importing the graph (import can take about a minute and the demo shows 400,000 edges) and renders only ~10–20 nodes at a time into Graphviz so layouts remain legible. It supports search by label or filename, click-to expand/collapse nodes, reveal full dependency paths, crop selections, double‑click neighbors, integrated browser history, and an interruptible renderer for massively connected nodes.
