coding-tools-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/gitnexus/gitnexus-impact-analysis/SKILL.md

gitnexus-impact-analysis is a skill for Claude Code from shelizi/coding-tools-mcp. It costs 50 tokens per session (755 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of gitnexus-impact-analysis, Apache-2.0.

A code-change safety analysis workflow that maps which parts of a repository depend on a function, file, or other target. GitNexus is a tool that builds a searchable graph of code relationships and execution flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find callers and importers, inspect affected workflows, assess current changes, and report what may break before a non-trivial edit.
Why use it?
It helps reveal the likely blast radius before editing or committing code. This makes direct breakages and indirect areas needing tests easier to identify.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/.

This is shelizi/coding-tools-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on coding-tools-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything coding-tools-mcp configures →

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

gitnexus-impact-analysis 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 6d 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.

Origin

Impact Analysis with GitNexus

When to Use

  • "Is it safe to change this function?"
  • "What will break if I modify X?"
  • "Show me the blast radius"
  • "Who uses this code?"
  • Before making non-trivial code changes
  • Before committing — to understand what your changes affect

Workflow

1. impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"})  → What depends on this
2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes                   → Check affected execution flows
3. detect_changes()                               → Map current git changes to affected flows
4. Assess risk and report to user

If "Index is stale" → run node .gitnexus/run.cjs analyze in terminal.

Checklist

- [ ] impact({target, direction: "upstream"}) to find dependents
- [ ] Review d=1 items first (these WILL BREAK)
- [ ] Check high-confidence (>0.8) dependencies
- [ ] READ processes to check affected execution flows
- [ ] detect_changes() for pre-commit check
- [ ] Assess risk level and report to user

Understanding Output

Depth Risk Level Meaning
d=1 WILL BREAK Direct callers/importers
d=2 LIKELY AFFECTED Indirect dependencies
d=3 MAY NEED TESTING Transitive effects

Risk Assessment

Affected Risk
<5 symbols, few processes LOW
5-15 symbols, 2-5 processes MEDIUM
>15 symbols or many processes HIGH
Critical path (auth, payments) CRITICAL

Tools

impact — the primary tool for symbol blast radius:

impact({
  target: "validateUser",
  direction: "upstream",
  minConfidence: 0.8,
  maxDepth: 3
})

→ d=1 (WILL BREAK):
  - loginHandler (src/auth/login.ts:42) [CALLS, 100%]
  - apiMiddleware (src/api/middleware.ts:15) [CALLS, 100%]

→ d=2 (LIKELY AFFECTED):
  - authRouter (src/routes/auth.ts:22) [CALLS, 95%]

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.
