Risk Analysis

The Risk Analysis tab is a written report about the risky parts of a repository. It names the kinds of code that need extra care when an AI tool changes them.

The report comes from the repository’s latest completed assessment.

  1. Open Repositories and select a repository.
  2. Select the Risk Analysis tab.
Section What it shows
Overview A short summary: an opening statement, a list of observations, and a closing statement.
Sensitive Areas A numbered list of categories. The heading shows how many categories were identified across the codebase.

Each category in the list shows three things:

  • The category name.
  • The number of files in that category.
  • A description of why the category needs care.

The categories are not a fixed list. The AI model that runs the assessment chooses them for each repository, so two repositories can have different categories.

The On this page list on the right has a link for Overview and for each category. Select a link to jump to that part.

The tab shows No risk analysis available until the repository has a completed assessment. See Run an assessment.

How this differs from the Sensitive Areas tab

Section titled “How this differs from the Sensitive Areas tab”

The two tabs have similar names, and it’s easy to mix them up.

Tab What it shows
Risk Analysis A written report, grouped by category.
Sensitive Areas Two file tables: files that change often, and files that many other files depend on.

See Sensitive Areas for the file tables.
