Problem Statement
Feature Request
Problem:
Before modifying a spec, there's no way to preview the downstream impact. Teams ask "what happens if we
drop this requirement?" or "what if we add OAuth?" — but today the only way to find out is to actually
make the change, re-run plan/tasks, and manually compare. This is slow and risky.
Proposed Solution

Output would include:
- Complexity score before vs after
- Tasks added/removed/changed
- Effort delta (hours gained or lost)
- Risk assessment of the change
- Side-by-side diff preview
Why this matters:
- Enables data-driven spec decisions before committing to changes
- Prevents "let's just try it" changes that cascade into scope creep
- Gives product managers a tool to evaluate trade-offs quantitatively
- Completely read-only — no files modified, pure simulation
