# 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. gitnexus_impact({target: "X", direction: "upstream"}) → What depends on this
2. READ gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes → Check affected execution flows
3. gitnexus_detect_changes() → Map current git changes to affected flows
4. Assess risk and report to user
```
> If "Index is stale" → run `npx gitnexus analyze` in terminal.
## Checklist
```
- [ ] gitnexus_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
- [ ] gitnexus_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,
