SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quickly determine what will break or be affected when changing code, enabling safer edits and informed decision-making.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Identify direct and indirect dependents with gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"}).
  • Read execution flows and processes via gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes to understand impact.
  • Map current changes to affected flows with gitnexus_detect_changes() for pre-commit risk assessment.
  • Generate risk levels and actionable reports to guide code review and testing.

Quick Start

Ask GitNexus to map dependents and blast radius for a given target before making changes.

Frequently Asked Questions about gitnexus-impact-analysis

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

FAQPage Schema
What is blast radius analysis for code changes?▼

Map code change blast radius by identifying direct and indirect upstream dependents using gitnexus_impact. Read execution flows via gitnexus repo processes, then detect current changes with gitnexus_detect_changes to generate risk levels and actionable pre-commit reports.

Can I assess risk for backend API changes before committing?▼

Yes, you can assess risk for backend services and APIs before committing by mapping dependents and execution flows. The analysis generates risk levels and actionable reports to guide code review and testing pre-change.

How do I map upstream dependents in a git repository?▼

Map upstream dependents by executing gitnexus_impact with the target parameter set to direction upstream. This identifies direct and indirect dependents to reveal the blast radius and safety implications of modifying the target code.

Does impact analysis work for UI modules and frontend code?▼

Impact analysis works for UI modules by mapping dependents and execution flows. It identifies direct and indirect dependents to assess blast radius and safety implications for frontend code changes during pre-change review.

Do I need gitnexus tools to map code change risk?▼

Yes, mapping code change risk requires integration with gitnexus tools. You use gitnexus_impact to map dependents, read execution flows via gitnexus repo processes, and run gitnexus_detect_changes to assess pre-commit risk.
