multi-version-behavior-comparator

multi-version-behavior-comparator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArabelaTso/Skills-4-SE. It costs 98 tokens per session (446 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A comparison tool for running tests or programs from multiple versions and reporting how their behavior differs. It compares outputs, exceptions, test results, functionality, and observable state changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate upgrades, compare repositories or releases, find regressions, and generate a report of added, removed, or changed behavior.
Why use it?
Upgrades can introduce regressions or subtle behavior changes that are easy to miss. Comparing versions shows where the newer code no longer behaves like the older one.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/compare.py v1.0/ v2.0/.

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

multi-version-behavior-comparator 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Multi-Version Behavior Comparator

Overview

This skill compares behavior across multiple versions of programs, identifying functional changes, regressions, and behavioral divergences to guide safe upgrades and validation.

Quick Start

# Compare two versions
python scripts/compare.py v1.0/ v2.0/

# Compare multiple versions with test suite
python scripts/compare.py v1.0/ v2.0/ v3.0/ --tests tests/

# Generate detailed report
python scripts/compare.py old/ new/ --output report.json

What Gets Compared

  1. Functionality - Added, removed, or modified features
  2. Outputs - Return values, printed output, file changes
  3. Exceptions - Error handling and exception types
  4. Test Results - Pass/fail status across versions
  5. Observable States - Side effects, state changes

Comparison Report

Generates JSON report with:

  • Behavioral Divergences: Where versions behave differently
  • Potential Regressions: Functionality that may have broken
  • Added Features: New functionality in newer versions
  • Removed Features: Functionality no longer present
  • Validation Areas: Code requiring manual review

Usage

python scripts/compare.py <version1> <version2> [version3...] [--tests <test_dir>] [--output <report.json>]

Tips

  • Run before deploying new versions
  • Use with existing test suites for comprehensive comparison
  • Review regressions carefully before upgrading
  • Validate high-risk areas identified in report
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.
