What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you understand the full scope and potential side effects of any code change before implementation, preventing unexpected bugs, ensuring system stability, and accurately estimating development effort.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Dependency Tracing: Identify all direct and indirect callers of modified functions, classes, or data structures across the codebase.
- Breaking Change Detection: Determine if a proposed change will break existing functionality, API contracts, or frontend-backend interfaces.
- Test & Documentation Impact: Pinpoint exactly which tests and documentation files will need updates due to the change.
- Use Case: Before modifying a core data structure like
SessionInfo, use this Skill to analyze its impact. It will identify all files, functions, and even frontend components that depend onSessionInfo, helping you plan for necessary updates and prevent regressions.
Quick Start
Analyze the impact of modifying the create_session() function, identifying all its callers, potential side effects, and affected tests.
