What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies the impact of code changes on a project's architecture, tracing dependencies and potential breakages.

Core Features & Use Cases

Blast Radius Analysis: Assess the effect of changes on components and files.
Dependency Mapping: Understand how components are connected.
Use Case: Before refactoring a component, use this Skill to determine which parts of the system will be affected.

Quick Start

Run the impact analysis for a component using the command: build-loop:architecture-impact <component-name>

FAQPage Schema

How do I analyze the blast radius of a code change before refactoring?▼

To analyze the blast radius of a code change, trace dependencies between components and files to assess the effect of modifications. This provides a comprehensive view of potential breakages and affected areas before you refactor.

What is dependency mapping and how does it show component connections?▼

Dependency mapping identifies and traces how components and files are connected within a project's architecture. It provides a comprehensive view of these connections to help you understand the structural relationships and potential impact of modifications.

How do I check code change impact on my project architecture?▼

To check code change impact on your project architecture, run an impact analysis using the component name. This identifies potential breakages by tracing dependencies and providing a comprehensive view of all affected areas.

Can I trace potential breakages across files before modifying a component?▼

Yes, you can trace potential breakages across files before modifying a component. The impact analysis traces dependencies between files and components, assessing the blast radius to reveal exactly which parts of the system will be affected.

Does impact analysis work for large refactoring tasks with many dependencies?▼

Impact analysis works for large refactoring tasks by tracing dependencies between components and files. It assesses the blast radius of changes, providing a comprehensive view of potential breakages regardless of the number of dependencies involved.

When should I use an architecture impact analysis instead of a standard code review?▼

Use an architecture impact analysis instead of a standard code review when you need to trace dependencies and assess the blast radius of changes across components. It identifies potential breakages and affected areas before refactoring, providing a broader architectural view.
