creating-change-records

creating-change-records is a skill for Claude Code from FlyFission/nuclear-grade-context-engineering. It costs 70 tokens per session (1,342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating or updating structured change records: files that keep a change's scope, plan, evidence, checks, and release decision together in Git.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting or revising Quick or Standard change records for work that needs traceable evidence and review.
Why use it?
It helps reviewers see what a change is meant to do, what supports each claim, and whether required records and links are complete.

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

creating-change-records 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 8d 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.

Creating Change Records

Overview

A change record keeps the whole story in Git, together: the scope, what the change must do, the plan, the trace from claim to evidence, the proof, and the release decision. Use the smallest record that still lets a doubting reviewer decide.

Decision contract

  • Claim checked: the record carries every file its mode requires, with the required links, exit criteria, source-lineage notes, and plain status labels (pass, fail, gap, deferred, not applicable, planned) present and the internal links resolving.
  • Artifact observed: the mode from risk.md and the templates/quick/ or templates/standard/ templates -> a Quick record (risk.md, proof.md) or Standard record (risk.md, basis.md, plan.md, trace.md, verification.md, ship.md) plus the validator result.
  • Decision affected: block -- whether the packet is structurally complete and valid (python tools/ng.py validate pass/fail).
  • Failure class: incomplete-record (a missing file, broken internal link, or proof command absent).
  • Next action: add the missing file or link and rerun the validator; raise Quick to Standard or human review when proof cannot answer the reviewer.

When to Use

  • You are starting a real AI-assisted change.
  • You are updating a record after the scope, proof, risk, or release posture changed.
  • You are preparing a pull request that needs evidence beyond the usual review notes.
  • A preview, a self-check, a handoff, a lesson from operation (OPEX), or a supplier trust check is in play and needs a record.

When Not to Use

  • The work leaves no lasting artifact and no need for review.
  • The request is only to browse or explain existing docs.
  • You only need to pick the mode / grade the change's risk, not author the record yet -- use rating-change-risk instead.

Inputs

  • The chosen mode from risk.md or from the risk-rating skill.
  • A questioning-attitude screen, when uncertainty, AI power, dependency trust, or release stakes are real.
  • Templates under templates/quick/ or templates/standard/.
  • The files the change affects and the proof commands.
  • An existing record, if there is one.

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.
