The moon action-graph [target] (or moon ag) command will generate and serve a visual graph of all actions and tasks within the workspace, known as the action graph. In other tools, this is sometimes referred to as a dependency graph or task graph. 
# Run the visualizer locally
$ moon action-graph

# Export to DOT format
$ moon action-graph --dot > graph.dot

# Export to JSON format
$ moon action-graph --json > graph.json
A target can be passed to focus the graph, including dependencies and dependents. For example, moon action-graph app:build.

​
