## What it is
A cargo plugin that visualizes and analyzes a Rust crate's internal module structure. It prints hierarchical module trees, internal dependency graphs, and detects orphaned source files.

## Use cases
- visualize a rust crate's module hierarchy as a tree
- generate a dependency graph of a crate's internal modules
- find unlinked orphan source files in a rust project
- understand the structure of a large rust codebase
- audit module organization in a rust project

## When to choose
- you need a quick tree or graph overview of a Rust crate's modules
- you want to detect orphaned source files not linked into the module tree
- you prefer a lightweight cargo subcommand integrated into your Rust workflow

## When to avoid
- you need full static analysis beyond module structure, like type-level call graphs
- you work in a language other than Rust
- you need IDE-integrated visualization rather than terminal output

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, parser, documentation, static-site-generator
- domain: developer-tools, programming-languages, parsers
- platform: cli, rust, cross-platform
- tags: cargo-plugin, rust-modules, code-analysis, module-visualization, dependency-graph, command-line
