ccf-change-control

A change-management guide for the Claude Code framework, covering checks required before changes are committed, merged, or considered finished.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before committing or merging framework changes, especially edits to templates, skills, rules, commands, hooks, or related documentation.
Why use it?
Framework edits can affect tests, templates, counts, and release rules. The guide identifies the change type and its required validation steps.

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 B, and why

ccf-change-control scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CCF Change Control

How a change to this framework is classified, gated, reviewed, and landed. The core model: deterministic tests are the hard gate; agents are advisory layers on top of it. No agent opinion, review, or skill instruction may route around a failing tests/run-all.sh.

Usage

Load this skill when you are about to change framework files and need to know what must happen before the change counts as done — or when you see a failing check and need to know whether to fix the change or the check.

Do NOT use this skill for:

  • WHICH count/table lives in WHICH file — that matrix is owned by ccf-doc-sync-campaign
  • HOW to mirror setup.sh into setup.ps1 — ccf-parity-playbook
  • Internals of each tests/check-*.sh script — ccf-testing-and-qa
  • Mechanics of .claude/ vs templates/ and the drift allowlist format — ccf-dogfood-and-drift

Process

1. Classify the change

Class Examples Minimum gate Extra obligations
doc-only README wording, docs/ guides bash tests/run-all.sh (counts/tables are still parsed) None if no counts touched
template-content new/edited file in templates/agents|commands|rules|hooks/, skills/ full suite; check-templates.sh, check-placeholders.sh, check-consistency.sh, check-agent-registry.sh, check-dogfood-drift.sh all bite Update every doc surface + config/agents.json for agents (see ccf-doc-sync-campaign); sync or allowlist the .claude/ twin
setup-script setup.sh / setup.ps1 full suite incl. check-setup-smoke.sh; PowerShell smoke (see phase 3 warning) Mirror in the other script in the SAME change (.claude/rules/setup-scripts.md)
test tests/check-*.sh, tests/check-setup-smoke.ps1 full suite; new check-*.sh files are auto-discovered by run-all.sh (find pattern) State what the test newly gates in the commit message
config-schema config/*.json full suite; check-agent-registry.sh locksteps config/agents.json with templates/agents/*.md, README.md, templates/CLAUDE.md.template, docs/teams.md, docs/agents-commands-rules.md Treat keys as an interface consumed by setup scripts

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.

ccf-change-control is a skill published in the GitHub repository BostonOrange/claude-code-framework (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 3,043 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
