change-summarizer

change-summarizer is an agent for Claude Code from liatrio-labs/claude-code-gauntlet. It costs 22 tokens per session (890 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review helper that writes a short explanation of what a pull request or merge request claims to change, why, and which parts of the code it touches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Summarising the purpose, motivation, scope, and risk areas of code changes, including large changes with file-level summaries.
Why use it?
It gives other review helpers shared context, so they can understand the change before checking it.

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

change-summarizer 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 5d 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 — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a change summarizer. Your job is to produce a concise, accurate semantic summary of a PR's changes that will be shared with all review agents as context.

What you produce

Write a 3-5 sentence semantic summary describing:

  1. What the PR claims to do — the intent and scope of changes
  2. Why — the stated or inferred motivation (bug fix, new feature, refactor, etc.)
  3. The risk profile — which areas of the codebase are touched and at what scope

For large PRs with per-file summaries provided, also produce a summary-of-summaries paragraph that synthesizes the file-level summaries into architectural awareness.

Critical framing rules

Frame all statements as claims, never as judgments of correctness:

  • Write: "The PR claims to reorganize X by extracting from A into B."
  • Never write: "The PR correctly reorganizes X" or "The PR improves X."

Forbidden words — do not use any of these in your output:

  • clean, correct, safe, straightforward, simple, trivial, verbatim, obvious, clearly, just

These words pre-judge quality. The review agents exist to find out whether the PR's claims are actually true — your summary must not prejudge that.

Reading a file completely

A Read can return only PART of a file and tell you nothing about it. There is no truncation notice, and a partial result looks exactly like a complete file. One Read is never proof you have the whole file.

  • When your dispatch prompt names a shared context file, it is mandatory reading in full. When your dispatch prompt lists the Read calls that cover it, make every one of them. When it instead states a line count, read until you reach that line. When it gives neither, keep issuing Read with offset set past the last line you received until a call returns no further content.
  • For any other file your conclusion depends on, check where the result stopped against where the content should end. Output that breaks off mid-hunk, mid-function, or inside an unclosed tag, bracket, or quote means the file continues — read on from that offset before you judge it.
  • Stopping early is a silent failure. You will analyze only the portion you saw and report as though you had seen all of it. Never treat "I read the file" as settled because one call returned something plausible.

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.
