Map affected code, data, interfaces, tests, documentation, release steps, and unknowns before implementation. +3. Route durable decisions, contracts, test evidence, and downstream checks to the existing specialized skills. +4. Compare the completed diff and verification evidence with the planned impact and report any scope drift or remaining risk. + +## Examples + +- Determine which callers, contracts, migrations, tests, and rollback steps are affected by an API change. +- Review a database migration plan for compatibility, recovery, and irreversible effects before execution. +- Compare an implemented cross-module change with its original impact analysis and identify unverified consumers. + +## Anti-Patterns + +- Guessing call relationships from directory names or model intuition. +- Turning an impact report into another drifting requirements or architecture document. +- Declaring a high-risk change deliverable without recovery steps, a compatibility window, and an explicit account of irreversible effects. + +## Related Skills + +- `architecture-decision-records`: hard-to-reverse decisions whose rationale must remain durable. +- `contract-first`: cross-service or cross-client boundary changes. +- `test-collaboration`: verification evidence for success criteria, risks, and defects. +- `module-regression`: downstream regression after implementation. + +## Before the Change + +Answer in order: + +1. **Code**: Which entry points, direct callers, downstream consumers, generated artifacts, and compatibility layers are affected? +2. **Data**: Do schemas, migrations, historical data, serialization, caches, or idempotency keys change? +3. **Interfaces**: Do APIs, messages, file formats, or CLIs change? Who are the consumers and providers? +4. **Tests**: Which success criteria, TEST-IDs, contract tests, and regression commands should prove the change correct? +5. **Documentation**: Does the change affect MAP, STATUS, LOG, CONTEXT, ADR, CONTRACT, Spec/Plan, TESTS, or REGRESSION artifacts? +6. **Release**: What are the deployment order, compatibility window, data recovery steps, rollback command, and irreversible effects? + +Prefer evidence from real imports and calls, routes, schemas, configuration, generators, `git grep`, `git diff`, and executable tests. Do not infer dependencies from directory names. + +## Routing Rules + +- Architecture, databases, authentication, deployment topology, or long-lived technical strategy: check `architecture-decision-records` and the ADR set. +- Cross-client interfaces: update the single contract source managed by `contract-first`, then plan consumer, provider, and integration evidence. +- Requirements, business rules, risks, or bugs: keep success criteria in the Spec/Issue and use `test-collaboration` to link TEST-IDs. +- Module behavior or dependency changes: run `module-regression` after implementation. +- Database migrations, breaking interfaces, authentication, and production releases: record rollback conditions, recovery steps, compatibility period, and irreversible effects. Treat any missing item as a blocker; do not execute rollback on a human's behalf. + +## Output + +For small changes, report affected objects, evidence, required verification, documentation updates, and unknowns in the response. For cross-module or high-risk work, first discover the project's existing impact-analysis location from its map or documentation index and confirm before writing there. If no canonical location exists, keep the report in the response unless the user chooses one; do not force `docs/impacts/`. + +## Post-Implementation Alignment + +After implementation, check: + +1. Whether the implementation solves the original problem in the Spec/Issue. +2. Whether the actual diff exceeds the declared scope, and whether any excess was authorized and added to the impact analysis. +3. Whether automated and manual evidence covers the success criteria rather than merely proving that a command ran. +4. Whether CONTEXT, ADR, CONTRACT, TESTS, REGRESSION, MAP, STATUS, and LOG artifacts were synchronized with the actual change. +5. Whether temporary code, compatibility logic, unfinished migration work, or follow-up Issues remain. + +Report the alignment result in the delivery response by default. For a requested durable high-risk review, reuse the project's mapped or indexed review location and confirm before writing. If none exists, ask the user to choose one; do not force `docs/reviews/` or create a generic `REFLECTION.md`.
