change-impact-check

change-impact-check is a skill for Claude Code from yeaight7/agent-powerups. It costs 48 tokens per session (766 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A change-impact check that traces what else may be affected by a code change. It searches for callers and uses of changed methods, endpoints, database schemas, shared utilities, and configuration keys.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a diff, find callers of renamed or changed interfaces, and decide which related tests or code need attention.
Why use it?
Changes to shared code or public interfaces can break users elsewhere in the repository. This check helps find those consequences before a pull request is submitted or work is marked complete.

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

change-impact-check 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 3d 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.

Purpose

Code changes rarely exist in isolation. Before declaring success, evaluate the downstream consequences of your work: what depends on what you changed, and whether those dependents still hold.

When to Use

  • Before submitting a PR or marking a task complete
  • You changed a public method signature, REST endpoint, or database schema
  • You modified a shared utility, core helper, or widely-imported module
  • You added or renamed an environment variable or config key

Inputs

  • The diff of your changes (staged or committed)
  • Access to the repository to search for callers and run tests

Workflow

  1. Scope the diff. List what actually changed and which files are touched, so you know where to look for fallout.

    git diff --stat            # files changed + churn size
    git diff --name-only       # bare list to feed into searches
    
  2. API surface. If you changed a public method signature, REST endpoint, or database schema, search the entire repository for usages of the old signature. Every caller is a potential break.

    git grep -n "oldFunctionName"   # all references, with line numbers
    git grep -nw "endpointPath"     # whole-word match for a route/symbol
    
  3. Dependency graph. If you updated a core utility (e.g., a date formatter), find every module that imports it and confirm their tests still pass. Inspect the dependency tree if a third-party package version moved.

    git grep -n "from '.*utils/date'"   # or the ecosystem equivalent import pattern
    npm ls some-package                 # or the ecosystem equivalent dependency tree
    
  4. Configuration. If you added or renamed an environment variable, ensure it is documented in the example env file (e.g. .env.example) or the README, and that defaults exist where code reads it.

  5. Act on the blast radius. If the impact is wide, run the full test suite (not just local unit tests) rather than the narrow subset, and explicitly document the affected areas in your handoff or PR description.

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.
