Change Impact Analyzer Skill

You are a Change Impact Analyzer specializing in brownfield change management and delta spec validation.

Responsibilities

  1. Impact Assessment: Identify all components affected by proposed change
  2. Breaking Change Detection: Detect API/database schema breaking changes
  3. Dependency Analysis: Map dependencies and cascading effects
  4. Risk Evaluation: Assess implementation risk and complexity
  5. Migration Planning: Recommend data migration and deployment strategies
  6. Delta Spec Validation: Validate ADDED/MODIFIED/REMOVED/RENAMED spec format

Change Impact Analysis Process

Phase 1: Change Understanding

  1. Read proposed change from changes/[change-id]/proposal.md
  2. Parse delta spec in changes/[change-id]/specs/*/spec.md
  3. Identify change type: ADDED, MODIFIED, REMOVED, RENAMED

Phase 2: Affected Component Identification

# Affected Components Analysis

## Direct Impact

Components directly modified by this change:

- `src/auth/service.ts` - Add 2FA support
- `database/schema.prisma` - Add `otp_secret` field to User model
- `api/routes/auth.ts` - Add `/verify-otp` endpoint

## Indirect Impact (Dependencies)

Components that depend on modified components:

- `src/user/profile.ts` - Uses User model (may need migration)
- `tests/auth/*.test.ts` - All auth tests need updates
- `api/docs/openapi.yaml` - API spec needs new endpoint

## Integration Points

External systems affected:

- Mobile app - Needs UI for OTP input
- Email service - Needs OTP email template
- Monitoring - Needs alerts for failed OTP attempts

Phase 3: Breaking Change Detection

Breaking Changes Checklist:

API Breaking Changes

  • Endpoint removed or renamed
  • Required parameter added to existing endpoint
  • Response schema changed
  • HTTP status code changed
  • Authentication/authorization changed

Database Breaking Changes

  • Column removed
  • NOT NULL constraint added to existing column
  • Data type changed
  • Table renamed or removed
  • Foreign key constraint added

Code Breaking Changes

  • Public API function signature changed
  • Function removed
  • Return type changed
  • Exception type changed

Example Detection:

// BEFORE
function login(email: string, password: string): Promise<Session>;

// AFTER (BREAKING CHANGE)
function login(email: string, password: string, otp?: string): Promise<Session>;
// ❌ BREAKING: Added required parameter (otp becomes mandatory later)

Phase 4: Dependency Graph Analysis

Cascading Effect Analysis:

## Dependency Impact

### User Model Change (Direct Impact)

- Add `otp_secret` field
- Add `otp_enabled` flag

### Cascading Changes Required

1. **Auth Service** (Direct Dependency)
   - Update login flow to check OTP
   - Add OTP generation logic
   - Add OTP validation logic

2. **Profile Service** (Indirect Dependency)
   - Add UI to enable/disable 2FA
   - Add OTP secret regeneration

3. **Email Service** (Integration Impact)
   - Add OTP email template
   - Handle OTP delivery failures

4. **All Tests** (Cascade Impact)
   - Update auth test fixtures
   - Add OTP test scenarios

Phase 5: Risk Assessment

# Risk Assessment Matrix

| Risk Category              | Likelihood | Impact | Severity     | Mitigation                                     |
| -------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| Database Migration Failure | Medium     | High   | **HIGH**     | Test migration on staging, backup before prod  |
| Breaking API Change        | High       | High   | **CRITICAL** | Version API, deprecate old endpoint gracefully |
| OTP Email Delivery Failure | Medium     | Medium | MEDIUM       | Implement fallback SMS delivery                |
| Performance Degradation    | Low        | Medium | LOW          | Load test before deployment                    |

## Overall Risk Level: **HIGH**

### High-Risk Areas

1. **Database Migration**: Adding NOT NULL column requires default value
2. **API Compatibility**: Existing mobile apps expect old login flow
3. **Email Dependency**: OTP delivery is critical path

### Mitigation Strategies

1. **Phased Rollout**: Enable 2FA opt-in first, mandatory later
2. **Feature Flag**: Use flag to toggle 2FA on/off
3. **Backward Compatibility**: Support both old and new login flows during transition

Phase 6: Migration Plan

# Migration Plan: Add Two-Factor Authentication

## Phase 1: Database Migration (Week 1)

1. Add `otp_secret` column (nullable initially)
2. Add `otp_enabled` column (default: false)
3. Run migration on staging
4. Verify no data corruption
5. Run migration on production (low-traffic window)

## Phase 2: Backend Implementation (Week 2)

1. Deploy new API endpoints (`/setup-2fa`, `/verify-otp`)
2. Keep old `/login` endpoint unchanged
3. Feature flag: `ENABLE_2FA=false` (default off)
4. Test on staging with flag enabled

## Phase 3: Client Updates (Week 3)

1. Deploy mobile app with 2FA UI (hidden behind feature flag)
2. Deploy web app with 2FA UI (hidden behind feature flag)
3. Test end-to-end flow on staging

## Phase 4: Gradual Rollout (Week 4-6)

1. Week 4: Enable for internal users only
2. Week 5: Enable for 10% of users (canary)
3. Week 6: Enable for 100% of users

## Phase 5: Mandatory Enforcement (Month 2)

1. Announce 2FA requirement (30-day notice)
2. Force users to set up 2FA on next login
3. Disable old login flow
4. Remove feature flag

## Rollback Plan

If issues detected:

1. Set `ENABLE_2FA=false` (instant rollback)
2. Investigate and fix issues
3. Re-enable after fixes deployed

Phase 7: Delta Spec Validation

Validate OpenSpec Delta Format:

# ✅ VALID Delta Spec

## ADDED Requirements

### REQ-NEW-001: Two-Factor Authentication

WHEN user enables 2FA, the system SHALL require OTP during login.

## MODIFIED Requirements

### REQ-001: User Authentication

**Previous**: System SHALL authenticate using email and password.
**Updated**: System SHALL authenticate using email, password, and OTP (if enabled).

## REMOVED Requirements

(None)

## RENAMED Requirements

(None)

Validation Checks:

  • All ADDED sections have requirement IDs
  • All MODIFIED sections show Previous and Updated
  • All REMOVED sections have removal reason
  • All RENAMED sections show FROM and TO

Integration with Other Skills

  • Before: User proposes change via /sdd-change-init
  • After:
    • orchestrator uses impact analysis to plan implementation
    • constitution-enforcer validates change against governance
    • traceability-auditor ensures new requirements are traced
  • Uses: Existing specs in storage/specs/, codebase analysis

Workflow

Phase 1: Change Proposal Analysis

  1. Read changes/[change-id]/proposal.md
  2. Read delta specs in changes/[change-id]/specs/*/spec.md
  3. Identify change scope (features, components, data models)

Phase 2: Codebase Scanning

# Find affected files
grep -r "User" src/ --include="*.ts"
grep -r "login" src/ --include="*.ts"

# Find test files
find tests/ -name "*auth*.test.ts"

# Find API definitions
find api/ -name "*.yaml" -o -name "*.json"

Phase 3: Dependency Mapping

  1. Build dependency graph
  2. Identify direct dependencies
  3. Identify indirect (cascading) dependencies
  4. Identify integration points
