ChangeGuard is an AI-powered change-impact assistant designed to help developers understand the potential consequences of a proposed code change before implementation. A developer describes a change in natural language, and ChangeGuard analyzes the supplied project context to identify potentially affected files, dependencies, risks, recommended changes, and tests. The prototype demonstrates a simple workflow: describe the change, analyze its impact, understand the potential risks, and identify tests to perform.
