SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Comprehension Gate provides a pre-merge review that focuses on understanding the implications of code changes rather than syntax or tests, producing a formal artifact that documents what was checked and what requires human attention.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase 1: Gather the Diff to assemble a changelist for analysis.
Phase 2: Credential and Secret Scan to surface hardcoded secrets or credentials.
Phase 3: Cross-Service Data Flow to examine data boundaries and privacy implications.
Phase 4: Failure Blast Radius to reason about error handling and ripple effects.
Phase 5: Architectural Implications to surface structural impacts and dependencies.
Phase 6: Comprehension Artifact to produce a readable summary for stakeholders and reviewers.

Quick Start

Run the comprehension-gate workflow after code changes are ready for review to generate a structured comprehension artifact that highlights implications and required human attention.

FAQPage Schema

What is pre-merge comprehension of PR implications?▼

Pre-merge comprehension of PR implications is the process of analyzing code changes to document risks like credential exposure, data flow boundary violations, and architectural impacts before a merge. It produces a formal artifact for reviewers requiring human attention.

How do I assess the blast radius of a code change before merging?▼

You assess the blast radius by reasoning about error handling and ripple effects across the codebase. A pre-merge comprehension workflow evaluates failure blast radius alongside data flow checks to document potential impacts for stakeholders.

How do I scan pull request diffs for hardcoded credentials and secrets?▼

You scan pull request diffs for hardcoded credentials by applying a secret scanning phase to the assembled changelist. This surfaces exposed credentials and secrets as part of a broader pre-merge risk assessment and comprehension report.

Can I generate a structured comprehension artifact for code review workflows?▼

Yes, you can generate a structured comprehension artifact for code review workflows across repositories. After gathering diffs and assessing risks, the workflow produces a readable summary documenting what was checked and what requires human attention.

What is the best way to document architectural impacts in a PR review?▼

The best way to document architectural impacts in a PR review is to surface structural impacts and dependencies during diff analysis. This ensures reviewers understand the implications of changes beyond syntax and tests before merging.

When do I need cross-service data flow analysis for a pull request?▼

You need cross-service data flow analysis for a pull request when the changes touch data boundaries and privacy implications. This examination ensures reviewers understand how information moves across services before approving the merge.
