What problem does it solve?

Use this skill to identify and document how proposed changes affect existing applications by producing a formal impact assessment that informs Solution Intent decisions and helps ensure changes are evaluated against current and future states.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Identify impacted applications (owners, consumers, downstreams, and dependencies) and cross-reference against the Application Registry.
• Document the current state per application (role, integrations, tech stack, owners).
• Document the future state per application (changes, additions, retirements, required effort).
• Classify impact types (New integration / Modified / Downstream / Retired) and assess risk and effort.
• Define sequencing to establish a feasible change rollout with dependency constraints.

Quick Start

Provide a concise impact assessment by listing affected apps, their current and future states, and the required sequencing.
