code-change-impact

code-change-impact is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mghareeb/code-change-impact. It costs 238 tokens per session (2,586 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for tracing the wider effects of a code change and checking whether related features still work. It adapts to the project’s language and tools by first discovering its own build, test, and lint commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after changing a feature, function, module, type, route, API endpoint, schema, or configuration, before committing, opening a pull request, or pushing.
Why use it?
The most important breakages may be outside the file that was edited, such as callers, shared helpers, API clients, generated files, or other consumers.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

code-change-impact scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Code Change Impact — blast-radius / regression analysis for any codebase

A fix is "done" only when you know what it touched besides the thing you were fixing. The dangerous ripples are rarely in the file you edited — they're in the callers of a function whose behavior you changed, the other modules that import a shared helper, the client that decodes a response whose shape you altered, the generated/duplicated twin file you forgot to regenerate, or a consumer that now fails to compile. This skill finds those, then proves the answer by running the project's own build/test/lint and exercising the impacted surfaces.

Run it after a change, against the VCS diff (the diff is the source of truth for "what changed"). It adapts to the language and tooling of whatever repo it's in — so Phase 0 (discovery) comes first and the rest builds on it.

Phase 0 — Discover the project (do this before analyzing)

You can't trace dependencies or verify a build until you know the project's conventions. Spend a minute learning them; cache the findings for the rest of the run. See references/recipes.md §1–2 for per-ecosystem detection commands.

Establish:

  1. Repo root + diff — git rev-parse --show-toplevel; then the change set (working tree, staged, or branch-vs-base). Use the VCS in play (git/hg/jj).
  2. Languages + ecosystems — from manifests and file extensions (package.json, pyproject.toml/requirements.txt, go.mod, pom.xml/ build.gradle, *.csproj/*.sln, Gemfile, Cargo.toml, composer.json). A repo may have several (e.g. a JS frontend + a Go backend).
  3. Verification commands — the project's own typecheck, build, test, and lint commands. Read them from the manifest's script section / Makefile / CI config rather than guessing (references/recipes.md §2). Note which test scripts are targeted (named per area) — those let you verify a specific blast radius cheaply.
  4. Module + import style — how this language names and imports modules, and any path aliases (e.g. a TS tsconfig.json paths, a Python namespace, a Go module path). This is what your reverse-dependency greps will key on.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
