cfgit-impact 0.4.4

Optional cfgit plugin for deterministic system-impact summaries and opt-in LLM narration of database record diffs

cfgit-impact

Optional system-impact analysis for cfgit.

This package is deliberately outside src/cfg/core/. The cfgit core stays LLM-free and provider-free; this plugin owns both deterministic impact analysis and optional LLM narration.

Install

Install cfgit with the database extras you use, then install the optional impact plugin from PyPI into the same Python environment:

• cfgit-impact

pip install 'cfgit[mongo,postgres,mcp]'
pip install cfgit-impact

For pipx installs:

pipx install 'cfgit[mongo,postgres,mcp]'
pipx inject cfgit cfgit-impact

Boundary

• src/cfg/core/ never imports this plugin.
• src/cfg/core/ never imports vendor SDKs or provider clients.
• The main action layer imports cfg_impact.overview only when cfg impact or the UI/MCP impact action is called.
• Provider selection comes from [connections].ai_provider unless a caller passes provider.

Provider Pattern

The provider layer uses a small factory pattern:

• cfg_impact.providers.base.BaseImpactProvider
• cfg_impact.providers.factory.ImpactProviderFactory
• cfg_impact.providers.claude.ClaudeProvider
• cfg_impact.providers.openai_provider.OpenAIProvider
• cfg_impact.providers.gemini.GeminiProvider

The impact engine calls narrate() or complete(). It never imports a vendor module directly.

Commands

Deterministic local analysis:

cfg impact agent_configs:agent_planner =HEAD =live --json

Opt-in LLM narration:

cfg impact agent_configs:agent_planner =HEAD =live --llm --json

Scope narration to selected records instead of the whole system:

cfg impact agent_configs:agent_planner --against agent_configs:critic --against modelgarden_models:openai/gpt-4o-mini --llm --json

LLM narration is refused unless the record is listed in [connections].share_with_ai. The payload sent to the provider is bounded and secret-stripped. It includes real before/after field diffs for the changed record, plus only allowlisted text from related records. In scoped mode, only selected records are included in the system map.

The plugin uses ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for claude, OPENAI_API_KEY for openai, and GEMINI_API_KEY or GOOGLE_API_KEY for gemini.
