Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.
Pinned to a commit: passed
Scanned nahisaho/codegraphmcpserver at d953aa5ad4.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill
What it does
The Change Impact Analyzer skill assesses the potential consequences of code changes. It identifies affected components, dependencies, and downstream systems based on a provided diff or change set. This allows for proactive risk mitigation and improved development workflows by predicting and understanding the ripple effects of modifications.
When to use it
- Before merging pull requests: Evaluate the scope of changes before integrating them into the main codebase.
- During incident response: Quickly identify systems potentially impacted by a code deployment that caused an issue.
- Planning refactoring efforts: Understand which areas will be affected when restructuring existing code.
- Estimating development effort: Accurately gauge the work required for implementing changes based on their impact.
Key capabilities
- Dependency analysis
- Component identification
- Downstream system mapping
- Change set processing (diffs)
Example prompts
- "Analyze the impact of this diff: [paste diff here]"
- "What components are affected by changes to module X?"
- "Show me the downstream systems impacted by a change in service Y."
Tips & gotchas
The skill requires access to code repositories and dependency information. Accuracy depends on the completeness and correctness of available metadata about your codebase.
