What problem does it solve?
ix-impact helps you understand what will likely break when you change a symbol or file by estimating blast radius, affected subsystems, and what to test before you edit.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Graph-based risk classification: Computes a risk level using Ix graph queries and explains how influence is distributed, then stops early for low-risk targets.
- Caller/dependent impact mapping: For medium to critical risk, enumerates direct callers and assesses transitive dependents to guide verification scope.
- High/critical spread analysis: For higher risk, traces import chains and subsystem spread to reveal architectural boundary crossings.
- Output tailored to action: Produces a verdict (safe, review, or plan-first) plus recommended next steps, and optionally flags known bugs in the blast radius when Pro is available.
