SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Skill provides a one-page risk assessment at PR time, outlining the change's impact, blast radius, deployment approach, monitoring signals, rollback triggers, and stakeholder notifications to guide safe release decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • End-to-end risk posture: rating, blast-radius analysis, deploy strategy, monitoring, rollback design, and stakeholder communication, all packaged as a structured report.
  • Importer mapping and change classification: identify affected modules and categorize the change as internal, API-compatible, breaking, or behavioural.
  • Stakeholder coordination and rehearsal guidance: pre-merge sign-off, staging validation, and documented rollback rehearsals.

Quick Start

Run a risk planning session by producing a concise risk report for a forthcoming PR, including rating, blast radius, deploy strategy, monitoring signals, rollback trigger, and stakeholder list.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate PR risk and blast radius before merging a code change?

PR risk evaluation generates a structured report covering blast radius, deploy strategy, monitoring signals, and rollback triggers. It maps affected modules and importers to classify changes as internal, API-compatible, breaking, or behavioural for safe release decisions.

What's the best way to plan a rollback strategy for a pull request?

Rollback planning is included in a structured risk report that specifies rollback triggers and rehearsal guidance. The report outlines deployment approach, monitoring signals, and stakeholder notifications to ensure documented rollback rehearsals before merge.

How do I classify a code change as breaking or API-compatible during PR review?

Change classification categorizes modifications as internal, API-compatible, breaking, or behavioural. The evaluation maps affected modules and importers, specifying any data or infrastructure impact to ensure compliance with an 18-rule checklist.

What should be included in a change management risk report for stakeholders?

A change management risk report includes rating, blast radius, deploy strategy, monitoring signals, rollback design, and stakeholder communication. It provides pre-merge sign-off coordination, staging validation guidance, and documented rollback rehearsals.

When do I need a blast radius analysis for a pull request?

Blast radius analysis is needed when a planned PR change affects multiple modules or importers. It enumerates affected components, classifies the change type, and specifies data or infrastructure impact to guide safe deployment and rollback decisions.

Does PR risk evaluation require any specific dependencies or environment setup?

PR risk evaluation requires no external dependencies. It references patterns in the repository and follows an 18-rule checklist to ensure completeness and compliance when producing the structured risk assessment report.
