BenchBox: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/shared-change-framework/SKILL.md

change-framework is a skill for Claude Code from BenchBox-dev/BenchBox. It costs 34 tokens per session (1,683 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for selecting the right source-code change, splitting larger work into small verified slices, and managing branches, commits, and authorised pull requests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for features, refactors, and multi-file fixes that need research, incremental implementation, testing, separate commits, and post-edit checks.
Why use it?
It limits unnecessary edits and keeps each part of a change buildable, tested, and traceable.

Skill for Claude Code

This is BenchBox-dev/BenchBox's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on BenchBox itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything BenchBox configures →

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

change-framework 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 26d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 162 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change Framework

1. Source-code selection

After required research and before editing source code, choose the first option that fully satisfies the authorized requirement, repository policy, and safety constraints:

  1. No change, if the required outcome already exists.
  2. An existing helper or established pattern.
  3. A standard-library or native platform feature.
  4. A declared, direct dependency supported by the project.
  5. The smallest clear new implementation.

Do not trade correctness, compatibility, validation, security, accessibility, or explicit requirements for an earlier option. When a simplification has a material or non-obvious limit, document the limit and its replacement trigger.

2. Slicing discipline

Use for multi-file work, features, refactors, or changes likely to exceed about 100 lines before testing.

  • Touch only task-required code. Report adjacent issues as "noticed but not touching."
  • Prefer vertical slices. Use contract-first slices for parallel components and risk-first slices for uncertainty.
  • Each slice must implement, test, and verify one logical behavior. Commit each verified slice separately.
  • Keep the project buildable and each increment independently revertible.
  • New incomplete code stays disabled by default.

3. Post-edit verification ladder

Run before returning, staging, or committing changes.

Checks

  1. Read edited regions with five surrounding lines. Check indentation, nesting, stale imports, and orphaned lines.
  2. Run project lint if available.
  3. Run project typecheck if available.
  4. Run targeted tests, then fast/default suite for meaningful code changes.

Rules

  • Report why any verification step is unavailable.
  • Fix failures before committing or report the blocker.
  • Report command, result, and residual risk.
  • Run the narrowest proving check first. Use fast, full, or preflight checks as final gates. Save long output to a log and report the summary.

Delegated gate runs

A low-effort subagent may run deterministic gates, including full tests, preflight, CI status, push, PR opening or follow-up, and other long run-and-report commands.

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.

change-framework is a skill published in the GitHub repository BenchBox-dev/BenchBox (12 stars, last pushed 21d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 1,683 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-04.
