Metrics Overview

Metrics Overview

Arxo provides architecture metrics you can track over time and enforce with policy invariants.

Core Structural Metrics

Use these to keep dependency structure healthy and prevent architectural drift.

Circular Dependencies (SCC)

Detect cycles, inspect per-cycle details, and prioritize safe cut edges.

Propagation Cost

Measure how far a local change can spread through the dependency graph.

Centrality

Identify high-impact modules that dominate dependency paths.

Flow Analysis

Understand directionality, bottlenecks, and reachability in dependency flows.

Coupling Analysis

Track structural coupling hotspots across packages and modules.

For circular-dependency work specifically, start with Circular Dependencies and SCC Keys and Output Contract.

AI and Observability Metrics

Arxo also includes architecture detectors for agentic and OpenClaw systems.

Agent Architecture

Reliability, safety, governance, and orchestration checks for multi-agent systems.

OpenClaw Architecture

Config, skill governance, tool sandboxing, telemetry, and supply-chain checks.
