SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Prevents risky edits by identifying what will break when a developer changes a specific symbol, including direct dependents and indirect execution flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upstream impact mapping: Finds callers/importers that depend on a target symbol and reports depth-based risk (d=1, d=2, d=3).
  • Change-to-flow detection: Uses git-diff style analysis to map staged changes to affected flows and estimate risk for pre-commit decisions.
  • Process-aware safety checks: Reads gitnexus processes to connect symbol dependency results to real execution pipelines.

Quick Start

Ask GitNexus impact analysis for a specific target symbol, for example “Is it safe to change validateUser, and what will break upstream?”

FAQPage Schema
How do I check the blast radius of changing a code symbol before committing?

To check the blast radius of a code symbol, you can query upstream dependents and affected execution flows using depth and confidence thresholds. This maps staged git changes to identify exactly what breaks upstream before you commit.

What is code impact analysis and how does it work for multi-process codebases?

Code impact analysis identifies direct dependents and indirect execution flows affected by modifying a specific symbol. It works by reading process data to connect dependency results to real execution pipelines for risk assessment across multi-process codebases.

How do I map staged git changes to affected execution flows for refactoring safety?

You can map staged git changes to affected execution flows by applying git-diff style analysis to your target symbol. This evaluates depth-based risk across upstream callers to ensure refactoring safety before integration.

Can I use depth thresholds to control pre-commit safety checks for dependency mapping?

Yes, you can use depth thresholds to control pre-commit safety checks by limiting dependency mapping to specific levels like d=1, d=2, or d=3. This allows you to estimate risk and filter upstream callers based on confidence thresholds.

What's the best way to identify what breaks if I edit a specific function in my repository?

The best way to identify what breaks when editing a function is to run a symbol-level impact query that targets the specific symbol. This reports upstream dependents and connects the dependency results to real execution pipelines for comprehensive risk assessment.
