SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Backend changes can inadvertently break frontend dashboards; this skill prevents such slips by enforcing dependency analysis and guardrails to protect data flows and chart integrity.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory pre-change guardrails that require dependency analysis before backend data or API changes.
  • Four-question validation process that checks API contracts, frontend rendering, chart logic, and data transformations.
  • Guided impact classification (BREAKING, VALIDATION, SAFE) with a structured output for stakeholders.

Quick Start

Before any backend change, run these guardrails to validate impact on data flow and dashboard charts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent backend API changes from breaking frontend dashboard charts?▼

Prevent backend API changes from breaking frontend dashboards by applying dependency analysis and guardrails during development. A four-question checklist validates API contracts, frontend rendering, chart logic, and data transformations before changes are merged.

What is backend impact analysis for data sources and SQL queries?▼

Backend impact analysis is a validation process that classifies changes to data sources, APIs, or SQL queries as BREAKING, VALIDATION, or SAFE. It identifies affected endpoints and charts, producing a structured output with verification steps.

How to validate API contracts before modifying backend endpoints?▼

Validate API contracts before modifying backend endpoints by running a pre-change guardrail checklist. This checks frontend rendering compatibility, chart logic, and data transformations to classify impact and output affected endpoints.

Can I use impact guardrails during PR reviews for data source changes?▼

Yes, you can use impact guardrails during PR reviews for data source changes. The guardrails enforce a four-question validation checklist that classifies changes as BREAKING, VALIDATION, or SAFE and provides structured verification steps.

Why does my frontend dashboard break after updating backend SQL queries?▼

Frontend dashboards break after updating backend SQL queries when dependency analysis is skipped. Applying pre-change guardrails checks API contracts, chart logic, and data transformations to ensure compatibility across all affected pages.
