+# Depdendency Check Plugin
+
+A CiBuildPlugin that finds all modules (inf files) in a package and reviews the
+packages used to confirm they are acceptable. This is to help enforce layering
+and identify improper dependencies between packages.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The plugin must be configured with the acceptabe package dependencies for the
+package.
+
+``` yaml
+"DependencyCheck": {
+ "AcceptableDependencies": [],
+ "AcceptableDependencies-<MODULE_TYPE>": [],
+ "IgnoreInf": []
+}
+```
+
+### AcceptableDependencies
+
+Package dec files that are allowed in all INFs. Example: MdePkg/MdePkg.dec
+
+### AcceptableDependencies-<MODULE_TYPE>
+
+OPTIONAL Package dependencies for INFs that have module type <MODULE_TYPE>.
+Example: AcceptableDependencies-HOST_APPLICATION.
+
+### IgnoreInf
+
+OPTIONAL list of INFs to ignore for this dependency check.
