git-diff-summary

git-diff-summary is a skill for Claude Code from davila7/claude-with-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (347 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of the changes that are currently not committed to Git, the version-control system used to track code history. It explains what changed, assesses risks, and suggests checks to complete before committing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to understand staged and unstaged changes, review work before a commit, and decide what to test or inspect next.
Why use it?
A file list or line count does not show whether a change alters public behavior, removes tests, or creates security and deployment risks. This summary connects the diff to its likely purpose and risks.

About the project

Claude With Skills is a progressive course that teaches developers to create reusable, portable Agent Skills for Claude Code, from basic SKILL.md files to advanced automation and plugin packaging. It is intended for developers who want repeatable instructions and workflows instead of repeatedly pasting the same guidance. The catalogue contains the course's skills, agents, and instruction.

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

git-diff-summary 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.

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

Staged changes

!git diff --staged --stat

Unstaged changes

!git diff --stat

Full diff

!git diff HEAD


Summarize the changes above:

1. What was modified and why

For each changed file, describe what was modified. Infer the intent from the diff — do not just list the line counts. Group related changes together if multiple files are part of the same logical change.

2. Risk factors

Flag any of the following if present in the diff:

  • Removed or weakened error handling (try/catch blocks deleted, error paths removed)
  • Changed public interfaces (function signatures, exported types, API response shapes)
  • Missing or removed tests for changed code
  • Hardcoded values where there were previously constants or configuration references
  • Security-sensitive areas touched (authentication, authorization, cryptography, input validation)
  • Dependency version changes
  • Database schema changes or data migrations

For each risk factor found, cite the specific file and line range.

3. Recommended next steps before committing

Based on the changes and any risk factors identified, give a prioritized list of things to do or verify before committing. Examples: "Run the test suite", "Add a test for the new error path in auth.ts:42", "Confirm the API response shape change is backward compatible".

If there are no risk factors and the changes are straightforward, say so clearly.

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.
