breaking-changes

breaking-changes is a skill for Claude Code from berkcangumusisik/claude-code-practices. It costs 17 tokens per session (326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A comparison tool that checks two Git versions for changes that could force users to update their code. A breaking change is a change that can stop existing integrations or applications from working.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review public APIs, database structures, configuration variables, and behavior changes, then create migration instructions with before-and-after examples.
Why use it?
It makes risky changes visible and explains how affected users should adapt.

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

breaking-changes 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.

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

Breaking Change Detection

Base: $1 (e.g., v1.2.0, main) Head: $2 (default: current HEAD)

  1. Get the diff:
git diff $1 ${2:-HEAD} -- src/ --name-only
git diff $1 ${2:-HEAD} -- src/
  1. Analyze changes for breakage:

Public API changes (exports):

  • Removed exported functions/types
  • Changed function signatures (added required params, changed types)
  • Changed return types

Database changes:

  • Removed columns (app code still references them?)
  • Renamed columns/tables
  • Changed column types

Config/env changes:

  • Renamed environment variables
  • New required env vars without defaults

Behavior changes:

  • Changed default values
  • Changed error types/messages (if consumers check these)
  1. For each breaking change, write a migration step:
## Breaking Changes in v2.0.0

### `createUser()` now requires `role` parameter
**Before:** `createUser({ name, email })`
**After:** `createUser({ name, email, role: 'user' })`
**Migration:** Add `role: 'user'` as default to all call sites.
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.
