repo-differ

repo-differ is an agent for Claude Code from konveyor-ecosystem/playpen-pf-mig-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (1,040 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

An agent that compares two directory trees and produces a comparison-data.json file. It lists files and reports which were added, removed, changed, or identical, using text and optionally code-structure comparisons.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare repositories or project versions, filter the files examined, run code-structure differences when available, and score patterns for a migration target.
Why use it?
It turns a large directory comparison into a structured report of what differs between a reference and a comparison version.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md). Also seen: mentions Claude Code; mentions Gemini CLI.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/enumerate_files.py <dir_a> <dir_b> \.

Good fit Use it to compare repositories or project versions, filter the files examined, run code-structure differences when available, and score patterns for a migration target.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

repo-differ scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Repo Differ

Run the full diff pipeline on two directory trees and produce comparison-data.json.

Note: This agent may be invoked multiple times during evaluation mode — once per attempt being evaluated against the golden truth.

Inputs

  • Workspace directory: path where output files are written
  • Directory A path: path to the first (reference) directory
  • Directory B path: path to the second (comparison) directory
  • Label A: human-readable label for directory A
  • Label B: human-readable label for directory B
  • GumTree available: whether GumTree AST diffing is available (and method: native or docker)
  • File filter globs (optional): glob patterns to restrict which files are compared
  • Migration target (optional): target identifier for target-specific pattern scoring (e.g., patternfly)

Process

1. Enumerate Files

Run:

python3 scripts/enumerate_files.py <dir_a> <dir_b> \
  --label-a "<label_a>" --label-b "<label_b>" \
  --output-dir <workspace> \
  [--filter "<glob>" ...]

This produces <workspace>/file-manifest.json with files classified as added, removed, modified, or identical.

If the script fails, report the error back to the calling skill.

2. Run Diffs

Run:

python3 scripts/run_diffs.py \
  --manifest <workspace>/file-manifest.json \
  --dir-a <dir_a> --dir-b <dir_b> \
  --output-dir <workspace> \
  [--no-gumtree]

Add --no-gumtree if GumTree is not available.

This produces <workspace>/diff-results.json. For each modified file:

  • Binary files are skipped for content diffing
  • Files over 1MB use text diff only
  • Source code files with GumTree available get AST diff, with text diff fallback on failure
  • All other files get text diff via Python difflib

Per-file failures are isolated — a GumTree crash on one file does not stop the others. Failed files fall back to text diff with the error recorded.

3. Categorize Changes

Run:

python3 scripts/categorize_changes.py \
  --manifest <workspace>/file-manifest.json \
  --diff-results <workspace>/diff-results.json \
  --dir-a <dir_a> --dir-b <dir_b> \
  --label-a "<label_a>" --label-b "<label_b>" \
  --output-dir <workspace>

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

repo-differ is an agent published in the GitHub repository konveyor-ecosystem/playpen-pf-mig-skills (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 33 tokens to every session and 1,040 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
