Semantic Diff Analysis

Analyze git changes semantically with classification, impact analysis, and risk assessment.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Instructions

1. Parse optional arguments:

   • --from REF → Starting git ref (default: HEAD~1 or staged changes)
   • --to REF → Ending git ref (default: HEAD)
   • --no-impact → Skip impact analysis (faster)

2. Use the mcp__mira__diff tool:

   diff(from_ref="...", to_ref="...", include_impact=true)
   

3. Present results in sections:

Change Classification

• NewFunction: Entirely new functions/methods
• ModifiedFunction: Changed existing functions
• DeletedFunction: Removed functions
• NewFile: New files added
• Refactored: Structural changes without behavior change

Impact Analysis

• What callers are affected by these changes
• Which modules depend on modified code
• Potential ripple effects

Risk Assessment

• Breaking changes: API signature changes, removed exports
• Security relevance: Auth, input validation, crypto changes
• Test coverage: Are changes covered by tests?

Examples

/mira:diff
→ Analyzes staged/working changes vs HEAD

/mira:diff --from main
→ Analyzes current branch vs main

/mira:diff --from v1.0 --to v1.1
→ Analyzes changes between tags

/mira:diff --no-impact
→ Quick classification without call graph analysis

Example Output

## Semantic Diff Analysis

### Changes (5 files, +142 -38 lines)

**New Functions:**
- `validate_token()` in src/auth.rs:45

**Modified Functions:**
- `handle_login()` in src/auth.rs:23 (added rate limiting)
- `create_session()` in src/session.rs:67 (changed return type)

### Impact Analysis
- `handle_login()` is called by 3 endpoints
- `create_session()` change affects 12 callers

### Risk Assessment
[WARNING] **Breaking**: `create_session()` return type changed
[SECURITY] **Security**: Rate limiting added (positive)
