SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires jq, md5sum, stat, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Cross-module changes often create unforeseen ripple effects across specs, contracts, and code, making it hard to plan, justify, and audit modifications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Surface direct and indirect impacts across modules, including API surfaces, data contracts, and dependencies.
  • Produce a ready-to-write Impact section for proposal.md, including Scope, Impacts, Risks, Minimal Diff, and Open Questions.
  • Trace references and changes to support risk assessment and compliance checks.

Quick Start

Ensure the change context is loaded and ask for an Impact analysis that populates the proposal.md with the Impact section.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate impact analysis for cross-module code changes?▼

You can automate impact analysis by identifying and quantifying the ripple effects of cross-module changes on existing specs, contracts, and code to surface direct and indirect impacts across API surfaces and dependencies.

What is the best way to track indirect impacts across API surfaces and data contracts?▼

Tracking indirect impacts across API surfaces and data contracts involves tracing references and changes to support structured risk assessment, compliance checks, and requirements tracking across module boundaries.

How do I generate an Impact section for proposal.md during change planning?▼

To generate an Impact section for proposal.md, load the change context and run an impact analysis to produce a ready-to-write section including Scope, Impacts, Risks, Minimal Diff, and Open Questions.

Do I need jq or md5sum to perform cross-module change management and risk assessment?▼

Yes, performing cross-module change management and risk assessment requires jq, md5sum, and stat dependencies to trace references, calculate checksums, and process structured data for impact analysis.

Can I use this impact analysis approach for design reviews and proposal preparation?▼

Yes, you can apply impact analysis to change planning, design reviews, and proposal preparation across modules, boundaries, and external interfaces to justify and audit modifications.
