Impact Analyzer

About

Impact Analyzer is a diagnostic utility for Claude Code designed to help developers understand the ripple effects of code changes. By analyzing file paths, API endpoints, components, and data models, it provides a comprehensive map of dependencies, risk level assessments, and migration checklists. This skill is essential for safe refactoring, allowing developers to identify potential regressions, breaking changes, and test coverage gaps before committing code to the repository.
