code-change-summarizer

code-change-summarizer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 110 tokens per session (3,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that turns code changes into a structured pull request description. It can summarize what changed, why it changed, testing, design decisions, and breaking changes that may require users to update their code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write pull request descriptions from diffs, changed files, commits, and issue references, including sections for features, fixes, refactoring, tests, and dependencies.
Why use it?
It removes the need to reconstruct the purpose of a change from a large Git diff. It helps keep proposed changes understandable to reviewers and future maintainers.

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

code-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 8d 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.

Code Change Summarizer

Generate clear, structured pull request descriptions from code changes.

Workflow

1. Analyze Code Changes

Gather code changes:

  • Git diff output
  • Modified files list
  • Commit messages
  • Related issue numbers

Understand the changes:

  • Read through all modified files
  • Identify what changed (added/modified/removed/fixed)
  • Understand the purpose of changes
  • Note any patterns or themes

Categorize changes:

  • Feature additions: New functionality
  • Bug fixes: Issue resolutions
  • Refactoring: Code improvements without behavior changes
  • Documentation: Doc updates
  • Tests: Test additions or modifications
  • Dependencies: Package updates
  • Configuration: Config or build changes

2. Create Initial Summary

Write a clear title:

Format: [Type] Brief description (max 72 characters)

Types:

  • feat: New feature
  • fix: Bug fix
  • refactor: Code refactoring
  • docs: Documentation
  • test: Tests
  • chore: Maintenance
  • perf: Performance
  • style: Code style
  • ci: CI/CD
  • build: Build system

Examples:

  • feat: Add user authentication with OAuth2
  • fix: Resolve memory leak in data processor
  • refactor: Simplify error handling logic

Write summary paragraph:

  • 2-3 sentences
  • Explain what and why
  • Use active voice
  • Be concise and clear

Example:

This PR adds OAuth2 authentication to the user login system. The change
improves security by using industry-standard authentication and enables
single sign-on with external providers.

3. Document Changes

List changes by category:

Added:

  • New features or functionality
  • New files or components
  • New API endpoints

Modified:

  • Changed behavior or implementation
  • Updated configuration
  • Refactored code

Removed:

  • Deprecated features
  • Deleted files
  • Removed dependencies

Fixed:

  • Bug fixes
  • Issue resolutions
  • Error corrections

Example:

## Changes

### Added
- OAuth2 authentication flow
- User session management
- Login/logout endpoints

### Modified
- User model to include OAuth tokens
- Authentication middleware
- Database schema

### Fixed
- Session timeout not working correctly
- Memory leak in token refresh

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
