Where does the skill store its analysis?

It generates a structured IMPACT.md file and ensures that these notes are linked within your project's PLANS.md for better traceability.

Can this skill be used for team code reviews?

Absolutely. The standardized IMPACT.md documentation provides reviewers with clear context regarding the intent and safety of the proposed changes.

What is the primary purpose of the Impact Analyzer skill?

The skill is designed to help developers identify and document the risks, scope, and necessary verification steps for any planned code changes before they are executed.

How does this skill help prevent bugs?

By identifying affected areas and required tests upfront, it ensures that developers consider side effects and edge cases that might otherwise be overlooked during implementation.

Does it suggest specific tests to run?

Yes, one of the core steps of the Impact Analyzer is to identify specific tests and checks required to validate that a change works as intended without breaking existing features.
