SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Track code changes' impact on business scope by tracing the call chain through an LSP server. It enables answering questions like "what does this function affect" and "which APIs call this code", and it supports generating impact reports with git commit references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • LSP-backed call chain tracing to reveal downstream effects across modules
  • Identify business entry points (APIs, config-driven paths, schedulers) and map downstream impact
  • Generate Markdown and JSON impact reports that reference code changes

Quick Start

Provide a starting point (file:line, commit, or function) and the tool will perform an LSP trace and produce both Markdown and JSON reports.

FAQPage Schema
How do I trace code changes to business impact using an LSP server?

To trace code changes to business impact, you resolve symbols and trace call hierarchies using an LSP server. This identifies affected business entry points and produces structured Markdown and JSON impact reports.

What is the best way to identify which APIs are affected by a function change?

The best way to identify affected APIs is by tracing the downstream call chain from the modified function using LSP. This maps the code change to business entry points like API paths to reveal the full impact scope.

Does code impact analysis work across multiple programming languages?

Code impact analysis works across any language that has an active LSP server implementation. The tool orchestrates language-agnostic symbol resolution and call hierarchy tracing to deliver consistent impact reports.

How do I generate impact reports that reference specific git commits?

To generate commit-referenced impact reports, you provide a git commit or file:line starting point for the trace. The tool outputs both Markdown and JSON reports linking the analyzed code changes to the business impact.

Can I map downstream effects from schedulers and config-driven paths?

Yes, you can map downstream effects from schedulers and config-driven paths. The LSP-backed call chain tracing identifies these business entry points and maps their downstream impact across software modules.

What are the limitations of using LSP for call chain tracing?

A limitation of using LSP for call chain tracing is that it requires an active LSP server for the target language. Without active LSP support, the tool cannot perform symbol resolution or trace the call hierarchy.
