Agent-written impact summary for a breaking spec change
When a breaking API change is detected, an agent investigates which consumers and call sites are affected, drafts a plain-English migration impact summary.

What it does
Takes a detected breaking change and produces the human-readable analysis a reviewer would otherwise write by hand. An agent reads the spec diff, searches consumer codebases for call sites hitting the changed endpoints, estimates blast radius, and proposes a migration path.
When to use it
Use this when breaking changes are unavoidable and the real cost is the manual investigation: who calls this, how hard is the migration, what's the rollout order. The agent does the legwork and hands the platform team a ready-to-triage issue instead of a raw diff.
How it works
- 1A detected-breaking-change webhook triggers the run with the changed paths.
- 2The agent fetches the spec diff and searches consumer repositories on GitHub for matching call sites.
- 3It groups call sites by service and ranks them by migration effort.
- 4It drafts an impact summary: affected services, sample call sites, suggested migration steps, and a recommended deprecation window.
- 5A logic step confirms at least one real consumer is affected before filing.
- 6It creates a Linear issue with the summary and links to each call site.
