branch-comparison

branch-comparison is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from duc01226/EasyPlatform. It costs 38 tokens per session (6,908 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of template-skill, MIT.

A Codex compatibility guide for loading project instructions explicitly from repository files. It also requires task tracking when following coding workflows or skills.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route project documentation, track workflow steps, follow explicitly invoked skills, and handle required subagent or user-question procedures.
Why use it?
It prevents important project rules from being missed when they are not automatically inserted into the assistant's context.

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

branch-comparison 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 5d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to template-skill — 229 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 390 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Codex compatibility note:

  • Invoke repository skills with $skill-name in Codex; this mirrored copy rewrites legacy Claude /skill-name references.
  • Task tracker mandate: BEFORE executing any workflow or skill step, create/update task tracking for all steps and keep it synchronized as progress changes.
  • User-question prompts mean to ask the user directly in Codex.
  • Ignore Claude-specific mode-switch instructions when they appear.
  • Strict execution contract: when a user explicitly invokes a skill, execute that skill protocol as written.
  • Subagent authorization: when a skill is user-invoked or AI-detected and its protocol requires subagents, that skill activation authorizes use of the required spawn_agent subagent(s) for that task.
  • Do not skip, reorder, or merge protocol steps unless the user explicitly approves the deviation first.
  • For workflow skills, execute each listed child-skill step explicitly and report step-by-step evidence.
  • If a required step/tool cannot run in this environment, stop and ask the user before adapting.

Codex Project-Reference Loading (No Hooks)

Codex uses static project-reference loading instead of runtime-injected project docs. When coding, planning, debugging, testing, or reviewing, open project docs explicitly using this routing.

Always read:

  • docs/project-config.json (project-specific paths, commands, modules, and workflow/test settings)
  • docs/project-reference/docs-index-reference.md (routes to the full docs/project-reference/* catalog)
  • docs/project-reference/lessons.md (always-on guardrails and anti-patterns)

Missing/stale context route: If docs/project-config.json, the docs index, lessons.md, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or any task-required reference doc is missing or stale, auto-run $project-init or the narrow setup route ($project-config, $docs-init, $scan-all, $scan --target=<key>, $claude-md-init) before ordinary project-specific work. If Codex mirrors or AGENTS.md are missing/stale, ask the user to run $sync-codex; do not auto-run it.

Situation-based docs:

  • Project structure/architecture/tech-stack/deployment/setup (any layer — backend, frontend, or infra): project-structure-reference.md
  • Backend/CQRS/API/domain/entity changes: backend-patterns-reference.md, domain-entities-reference.md
  • Frontend/UI/styling/design-system: frontend-patterns-reference.md, scss-styling-guide.md, design-system/README.md
  • Spec authoring, docs/specs/ pathing, or TC format: feature-spec-reference.md, spec-system-reference.md, spec-principles.md
  • Behavior/public-contract changes or spec-test-code sync: workflow-spec-test-code-cycle-reference.md plus the spec docs above
  • Derived spec indexes/ERDs/reimplementation guides: spec-system-reference.md and source Feature Specs under docs/specs/
  • Integration test implementation/review: integration-test-reference.md
  • E2E test implementation/review: e2e-test-reference.md
  • Code review/audit work: code-review-rules.md plus domain docs above based on changed files

Do not read all docs blindly. Start from docs-index-reference.md, then open only relevant files for the task.

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.
