pre-modification-check

To assess code edit impact, retrieve risk scores, hotspot status, dependents, co-change partners, and ownership details for target files. This surfaces potential breakage risks and guides informed modifications before any code is actually changed.

Codebase bus-factor measures ownership concentration risk within a repository. Low bus-factor indicates high risk because modifications depend on limited knowledge holders, increasing the chance of architectural violations when those files are edited.

To check dependent files before refactoring, request risk assessment for the target path to surface all dependents and co-change partners. This maps the blast radius of your multi-file refactor across the entire codebase.

You can evaluate risk for both single-file edits and multi-file refactors across codebases. The assessment surfaces hotspots, dependents, and ownership for all targeted paths to guide PR reviews and change scoping.

To find code context and rationale, use context discovery functions on target file paths to map usage patterns, past decisions, and architectural reasoning. This ensures safe edits that maintain existing architectural decisions.

Yes, you need a Repowise-indexed repository to analyze code modification risk. The risk scoring and context discovery rely on indexed data to surface hotspots, dependents, ownership, and bus-factor insights for your codebase.
