FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze the impact of changes on existing systems?▼

Impact analysis identifies affected components, dependencies, and risks when proposing changes to brownfield systems. This Skill validates delta specs, detects breaking changes across APIs and databases, and generates reports showing which parts of your system are impacted by modifications, additions, removals, or renames.

What is delta spec validation and why do I need it for migrations?▼

Delta spec validation parses and validates change specifications (ADDED, MODIFIED, REMOVED, RENAMED) to ensure proposed changes are correctly structured before deployment. For brownfield migrations, it prevents invalid changes from propagating and helps you understand exactly what will change in your codebase, schemas, and APIs.

How do I detect breaking changes in APIs and database schemas?▼

Breaking-change detection scans proposed modifications to APIs, database schemas, and dependencies to identify incompatibilities that could disrupt existing integrations. This Skill maps affected components and recommends mitigation strategies, helping you plan deployments without unexpected failures.

Can I use this for dependency mapping and risk assessment?▼

Yes. This Skill builds dependency graphs from your change proposals and assesses risk by identifying all components impacted by modifications. It surfaces integration points and recommends migration steps, making it suitable for large brownfield projects with complex, interconnected systems.

What output does impact analysis provide for deployment planning?▼

Impact analysis generates reports showing impacted components, detected change types, dependency relationships, and recommended migration and deployment sequences. These outputs help teams prioritize work and coordinate changes across code, databases, APIs, and workflows safely.
