SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Cross-repo side effects often go unnoticed when changing code; this Skill systematically detects potential upstream/downstream impacts across repositories before commits or PRs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated symbol extraction from local changes and identifying potential impact points across repos.
  • Cross-repo grep and sub-agent dispatch to analyze references and dependencies.
  • Actionable risk reporting with triage guidance for remediation across teams.

Quick Start

Run the side-effect analysis on your current changes to identify cross-repo impacts.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect cross-repo side effects before creating a pull request?▼

To detect cross-repo side effects before a pull request, you can analyze local code changes using grep-based symbol extraction and sub-agent dispatch to identify upstream and downstream impacts across repositories.

What is the best way to analyze upstream and downstream impacts across multiple repositories?▼

Analyzing upstream and downstream impacts across multiple repositories is best handled by dispatching per-repo sub-agents to evaluate references and dependencies, generating a structured risk report for immediate remediation.

How do I identify cross-repo dependencies from local code changes?▼

You can identify cross-repo dependencies from local code changes by applying automated symbol extraction to your diffs, then tracing those symbols across your workspace to find potential impact points.

Can I generate a risk report for cross-repo code changes?▼

Yes, you can generate a structured risk report for cross-repo code changes that provides actionable triage guidance, helping teams remediate identified upstream and downstream impacts before committing.

Does sub-agent dispatch work for analyzing references in multiple repositories?▼

Yes, per-repo sub-agent dispatch works effectively for analyzing references, allowing isolated evaluation of dependencies and potential side effects across each repository impacted by your changes.

When do I need cross-repo impact analysis for my commits?▼

You need cross-repo impact analysis for commits when modifying shared symbols or interfaces, ensuring that upstream and downstream repositories are checked for unnoticed side effects before finalizing your PR.
