SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Identify and quantify the ripple effects of code changes by mapping dependencies and potential impact with GitNexus, helping engineers plan safer edits. The analysis guides decision-making before modifications and reduces the risk of breaking downstream functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects GitNexus config/capability for the current runtime
  • Bootstrap CLI/MCP binding if missing
  • Verifies repository visibility and indexing status
  • Executes gitnexus analyze to compute impact and blast radius
  • Reads gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes for context
  • Performs gitnexus_detect_changes() to surface changes and risks
  • Produces an actionable risk assessment prior to commits or refactors

Quick Start

Bootstrap the GitNexus workflow and run gitnexus_impact to assess upstream dependencies before making changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I assess code change impact and blast radius before committing?

You can assess code change impact by running an impact analysis that maps dependencies and quantifies ripple effects. This computes the blast radius of modifications to produce a risk assessment, helping engineers plan safer edits before committing.

What is blast radius analysis and when do I need it for refactoring?

Blast radius analysis identifies the potential ripple effects of a code change by tracing upstream dependencies. You need it before refactoring or modifying code to reduce the risk of breaking downstream functionality and guide safer edit decisions.

Do I need a configured environment to run dependency trace and impact analysis?

Yes, impact analysis requires a configured environment with a visible GitNexus config in your local repository. The workflow verifies repository visibility and indexing status, bootstrapping CLI or MCP binding if missing, before executing the dependency trace.

How do I detect code changes and surface risks in a local repository?

You can detect code changes by executing a pre-commit check that performs change detection on your local repository. This surfaces potential risks and affected components by reading process contexts to provide an actionable risk assessment prior to modifications.

What are the limitations of static analysis for pre-commit impact checks?

Static analysis for pre-commit impact checks is limited to local repositories with a visible GitNexus config and verified indexing status. It cannot produce a risk assessment if the environment lacks bootstrap binding or if repository visibility cannot be verified.
