SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

You need to know what to change first, what might break, and what to test when applying one or more codebase modifications with limited time and high risk.

Core Features & Use Cases

Risk-ordered sequencing: ranks targets by risk (critical > high > medium > low) to minimize breakage.
Blast-radius and dependency awareness: uses impact and callers/dependents queries to prioritize safer edits and testing.
Data-flow and shared-blast analysis: traces connections between high-risk targets and identifies shared dependents to focus verification.
Pro-aware plan tracking (optional): when Ix Pro is available, references existing goals/plans to avoid duplicate work.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to generate a risk-ordered implementation plan for the changes you want, including what will break and which test checkpoints to run: ix-plan /ix-plan <symbol1> <symbol2>

FAQPage Schema

How do I plan a safe sequence for multi-target code changes?▼

To plan a safe sequence for multi-target code changes, generate a risk-ordered implementation plan that assesses blast radius and dependencies. This ranks modification targets by risk level to minimize potential breakage during execution.

What is blast radius analysis in code change planning?▼

Blast radius analysis in code change planning evaluates how far modifications might spread across a codebase. It uses impact and callers queries to identify shared dependents and trace data flow between high-risk targets.

How do I determine what to test before modifying multiple codebase targets?▼

To determine test checkpoints before modifying multiple codebase targets, run a risk assessment that traces call paths and shared dependents. This focuses verification on connections between high-risk targets and their downstream impacts.

Can I trace data flow between high-risk code modification targets?▼

Yes, you can trace data flow between high-risk code modification targets by running impact and callers queries. This shared-blast analysis identifies connections between targets to prioritize safer edits and targeted testing.

Does code change planning work with dependency analysis for multi-target modifications?▼

Code change planning works with dependency analysis by resolving specified modification targets and then assessing their call paths and shared dependents. This dependency awareness ensures safer risk-ordered sequencing across multiple edits.

When should I use risk-ordered sequencing for code modifications?▼

Use risk-ordered sequencing for code modifications when applying multiple changes with limited time and high risk. It ranks targets from critical to low risk, ensuring safer edits are prioritized and breakage is minimized.
