Answer "what breaks if I change X?" using the code graph. This is the one thing the graph does that grep + IDE-nav cannot: it traverses calls, references, and extends edges across files, packages, and languages in one query.
Memory Impact Analysis is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the knowledge-mgmt sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/memory-impact-analysis/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user wants to know what will break if they change something, or needs safety analysis before editing code. Examples: "is it safe to change X?", "what depends on this?", "what will break?", "show me the blast radius".
The Memory Impact Analysis Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 70,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
