Can I see which functions call a specific method?

Yes, by using the call-graph command with the direction callers flag, you can trace every function that invokes a specific symbol.

What is a blast radius in code analysis?

A blast radius refers to the set of files, functions, and modules that are potentially affected or broken by a change to a specific piece of code.

Does this skill require a pre-analyzed codebase?

Yes, for the most accurate results, impact analysis should be performed after running a recent devac analyze command to update the analytics layer.

Does this work across multiple repositories?

Yes, cross-repository impact analysis is available when using DevAC in hub mode, allowing you to see how changes in one repo affect another.

Is SQL knowledge required to use this skill?

No, while advanced users can use SQL queries for complex analysis, most tasks are handled by simple commands like devac affected and devac deps.

分析与监控

Analyzes codebases to determine the blast radius of changes and map complex dependencies using DevAC's analytics layer.

关于

This skill empowers developers to understand the downstream consequences of code modifications before they occur by leveraging the DevAC Analytics Layer. By generating comprehensive call graphs, identifying affected files, and tracing upstream or downstream dependencies, it helps prevent regression errors and facilitates safer refactoring. It is particularly useful during large-scale architectural changes where understanding the ripple effect of a specific file or symbol modification is critical for maintaining system stability and code quality.
