intellidiff

intellidiff is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from batteryshark/rekit. It costs 71 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A read-only file-inspection tool for comparing files and directory trees, finding duplicates, calculating checksums, and showing selected numbered lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare versions, audit folders, locate duplicate files, verify SHA-256 or CRC32 identities, and inspect a specific part of a source file.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish real changes from formatting differences, verify that files are unchanged, and find repeated or missing files without editing anything.

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

intellidiff 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run.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 — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IntelliDiff

Use one read-only, pure-stdlib runner to compare files or directory trees, find duplicate files, calculate file identities, and retrieve bounded line ranges. Every operation emits one JSON object by default; pass --format text for human-readable output.

Operations

Operation Purpose
compare target other Compare two files exactly or as normalized text.
folder-compare target other Compare relative file paths and content identities in two trees.
duplicates target Group duplicate files in one tree and report wasted bytes.
hash target Return SHA-256, CRC32, size, file type, and timestamps.
lines target Return a numbered line range with optional surrounding context.

Invoke through Rekit:

bin/rekit run intellidiff compare old.txt new.txt --mode smart --ignore-whitespace
bin/rekit run intellidiff folder-compare old-tree new-tree --binary --depth 20
bin/rekit run intellidiff duplicates artifacts --include-hidden
bin/rekit run intellidiff hash sample.bin
bin/rekit run intellidiff lines parser.py --start 40 --end 80 --context 3

Comparison choices

  • Use the default --mode exact for byte identity. The runner streams both SHA-256 and CRC32; SHA-256 determines identity.
  • Use --mode smart only for text. Add --ignore-blank, --ignore-newlines, --ignore-whitespace, --ignore-case, --normalize-tabs, or --unicode-normalize when those differences are intentionally irrelevant.
  • Unified diffs are capped at 2,000 lines by default. Adjust --max-diff-lines when a larger result is genuinely useful.
  • Folder comparison skips binary files unless --binary is passed. Tree operations skip hidden paths unless --include-hidden is passed, never follow symlinks, and default to a recursion depth of 10.

Interpret results

Treat CRC32 as a quick compatibility checksum, not proof of identity. Use sha256 for identity and integrity decisions. Smart comparison decodes as UTF-8 with replacement for invalid sequences; it is intended for readable source and configuration files, not exact forensic byte comparison.

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.

intellidiff is a skill published in the GitHub repository batteryshark/rekit (10 stars, last pushed 28d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 582 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
