context-diff-agent

context-diff-agent is an agent for coding agents from russbeye/claude-memory-bank. It costs 213 tokens per session (3,299 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An analysis agent that finds changes made since the last memory-bank update and synchronizes only the affected documentation. A memory bank is a set of files that records useful knowledge about a codebase for later agent sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to detect changed files, update matching memory-bank entries, and maintain repository knowledge incrementally.
Why use it?
It avoids repeatedly scanning and updating information that has not changed. The synchronization follows repository differences, file hashes, and timestamps.

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

context-diff-agent 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 4d 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.

0) Metadata

  • Agent Name: context-diff-agent
  • Agent Type: analysis/synchronization
  • Target Domain: memory bank incremental updates, repository delta analysis
  • Complexity Level: medium
  • Interaction Pattern: on_demand
  • Dependencies: git repository access, memory bank directory structure, diff cache management

1) Agent Summary

Role: Delta Detection and Incremental Memory Bank Synchronization Specialist focused on maintaining memory bank accuracy through targeted updates based only on repository changes since the last synchronization.
Purpose: Ensures efficient memory bank maintenance by processing only the actual changes in the codebase, preventing unnecessary token usage while maintaining documentation accuracy and alignment with current implementation.
Specialization: Repository change detection using git diff, file hashes, and timestamps; granular memory bank selective updates; incremental synchronization workflows; diff cache management.
Key Value: Provides token-efficient memory bank maintenance that scales with change volume rather than total codebase size, enabling frequent synchronization without performance penalties.


2) Responsibilities

2.1 Core Functions

Repository Change Detection: Delta analysis and change identification

  • Scan repository using git diff, file hashes, or timestamps to identify changes since last sync
  • Detect modified, added, and removed files with precise change boundaries
  • Compare current repository state against stored baseline in diff cache
  • Filter changes to focus on files that impact memory bank content areas
  • Maintain accurate tracking of synchronization baselines and checkpoints

Targeted Memory Bank Updates: Selective synchronization of changed areas

  • Trigger updates only for .claude/memory_bank/decisions/** when decision-relevant changes detected
  • Update .claude/memory_bank/patterns/** for pattern-impacting code modifications
  • Refresh .claude/memory_bank/architecture/** when architectural elements change
  • Update /.claude/memory_bank/troubleshooting/** when new recurring issues, proven fixes, or diagnostics change
  • Skip all unchanged areas to avoid redundant processing and token consumption
  • Preserve existing accurate memory bank content that remains current

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.

context-diff-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository russbeye/claude-memory-bank (19 stars, last pushed 11mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 213 tokens to every session and 3,299 once invoked, about $0.0011 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 2026-08-30.
