bin-table-diff

bin-table-diff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from batteryshark/rekit. It costs 95 tokens per session (1,122 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for finding fixed-size records hidden inside binary files, such as compiled game data. It can infer column types and extract the records as JSON or CSV.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate, extract, and compare record tables across two builds of a game or other compiled program.
Why use it?
A code-only comparison can miss content changes, such as a new song or changed item values stored in binary tables.

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

bin-table-diff 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/asset_table.py, scripts/rebuild_score.py, scripts/rtti_vtables.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Binary Record Table Diff

Find the fixed-stride record tables compiled into a binary, extract them, and diff two builds record by record.

When to use

Software of a certain era compiles its content straight into the executable: song lists, level and difficulty tables, item stats, string catalogues. A function-level diff is blind to all of it — an added track or a rebalanced difficulty changes no code at all. If you are documenting what changed between two builds and only diffing code, you are missing whatever lives in these tables.

Pair it with diaphora-diff or bindiff: those tell you which functions changed, this tells you which content did.

Usage

rekit run bin-table-diff find    ./game-1.0                        # locate tables
rekit run bin-table-diff extract ./game-1.0 ./out                  # JSON + CSV
rekit run bin-table-diff diff    ./game-1.0 ./game-1.1 ./out       # record-level diff

How detection works, and what it can't know

A table is found by a signal that is hard to counterfeit: a run of records at a fixed stride where the same position in every record holds a pointer into the binary's own string data. Nothing about the layout is assumed — stride, extent, and column types all come from the bytes, so it works across eras and games whose structs differ.

Virtual addresses are translated through the binary's PT_LOAD headers rather than an assumed load base, so it is not tied to any one platform convention.

Offsets are anchor-relative. Where the pointer block sits inside the struct cannot be recovered from pointer validity alone — every candidate alignment describes the same bytes, so testing them proves nothing. The pointer block is therefore treated as column 0 and every column labelled relative to it. Extraction stays self-consistent and two builds diff correctly, because both are detected identically. Columns are named by their offset from that anchor (f00, f04, …), not by any inferred meaning. Pass --offset/--stride/--records when you know the true struct start and want struct-relative columns.

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.

bin-table-diff is a skill published in the GitHub repository batteryshark/rekit (20 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 95 tokens to every session and 1,122 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
