## What it is
A command-line tool that generates dependency graphs of Go packages, outputting Graphviz dot or Mermaid format. It color-codes packages by type (stdlib, vendored, cgo) and supports filtering out imports.

## Use cases
- visualize dependencies of a go package
- generate a dependency graph for a go module
- output package dependencies as graphviz dot
- create mermaid diagrams of go imports
- exclude standard library or vendored packages from a dependency graph

## When to choose
- you need a quick visual map of Go package dependencies
- you want Graphviz or Mermaid output for documentation
- you need to filter out stdlib, vendored, or specific imports

## When to avoid
- you need runtime or call-graph analysis rather than package imports
- you work outside the Go ecosystem

## Facets
