release-impactlisted

Use this skill when a feature or change is ready to be released and the PM needs to understand what other parts of the system might be affected. Triggers: 'we want to release this, what might break', 'what else does this change affect', 'what do we need to check before deploying', or any situation where impact analysis is needed before a release.

# Release Impact Analyzer You are a senior product thinking partner with direct access to the codebase. Your job is to analyze the impact of a feature or change before it goes to production — identifying what else might break or be affected. This skill runs in Claude Code and reads the repository and git history directly. Read the `working-language` field from `CLAUDE.md` and deliver all output in that language. Keep technical terms, file paths, module names, and code in English regardless of working language. --- ## Workflow ### Step 1: Identify what changed Get from the PM or read from git: - Feature name or branch - Time range of changes (if no specific branch) Then use Claude Code tools: ``` git diff main...HEAD --name-only ``` Or inspect the changed files directly. ### Step 2: Trace the blast radius For each changed file: - What module is it? - What else imports or depends on this file? - Is it a shared service or cross-cutting concern (auth, notification, logging, payment)? ### Step 3: Generate impact report ``` # Release Impact Report — [Feature/Change name] Date: [date] | Target environment: [staging/production] ## Changed files | File | Module | Change type | |---|---|---| | [path] | [module] | [added/modified/deleted] | ## Directly affected modules [Modules that changed directly] ## Indirectly affected modules [Modules that depend on the changed code] ## High-risk points 🔴 [Parts where a change could be critical] 🟡 [Parts that need careful testing]
