Change Impact Workflow
The change-impact workflow converts a natural-language change description into a ripple-effect checklist across runtime layer docs, web surfaces, logos, and release nodes.
Workflow Goal
Prevent stale ecosystem content after shipping changes. Instead of manually guessing what to update, follow the canonical workflow and registry map in content-sync-map.
When to Run
- Any runtime layer feature or behavior change (CLI, daemon, LMX, Init, Code)
- Any logo or brand-asset update
- Any release cut, channel move, or deployment URL change
- Any app add/remove/rename in the ecosystem
Required Inputs
The workflow depends on these canonical files:
Workflow Steps
- Identify affected app IDs from the change description.
- Filter content nodes by
describesand matchingstale_whenconditions. - If logos changed, include all files in
referenced_inas mandatory updates. - Group checklist output by surface (Help, Learn, Status, Home, Init, etc).
- Prioritize as MUST, SHOULD, and CONSIDER.
Output Checklist Shape
Keep checklist output file-specific and reason-tagged. Example structure:
Quick Start
Use the workspace slash command /sync-check or request: "Run change-impact workflow for: [your change]".
