what-changed is a skill for Codex from hxy91819/mason-skills. It costs 28 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for explaining what changed in a previous work session, code difference, or pull request. A pull request is a proposed set of code changes for review before merging.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to summarise changes by purpose, explain why they were made, and state what users will notice and what remains unchanged.
Why use it?
It turns technical changes into a short explanation of the problem, the decisions made, and the visible result, without listing files line by line.

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

what-changed 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 7d 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

What Changed

用户要听的是改动说明,不是代码走查。核心原则:讲决定,用按意图分类的精简清单呈现。

1. 先确定范围

按用户的问法选一个:

  • 上一轮:本次会话最近一次完成的改动,凭会话记录回答,记不清的部分回去看当时的 diff。
  • 当前 diff:工作区或当前分支上还没发布的改动,直接看 git diff(含暂存区)。
  • 当前 PR/MR:整条分支相对目标分支的全部改动,看 git log 和 PR/MR 的 diff。

范围含糊时选最近完成的那次改动,并在回答开头说明你选了哪个范围。不要只凭记忆复述大范围改动。

2. 用分类清单回答三个问题

  1. 这次改动要解决什么问题。
  2. 做了哪几个决定来解决问题。用 Markdown 勾选清单按意图归类;只展示有改动的分类。可用分类包括“功能与行为”“接口、数据与配置”“质量与维护”。每项是一项决定,写清改了什么和为什么,不按文件或代码行罗列。这是回答的主体。
  3. 用户现在能看到什么变化,什么保持不变。

3. 简单明了,字数要少

先给一句话结论,再给最必要的理由;细节、文件名、备选方案都等用户追问再说。分类通常不超过三个,每类一到两项;改动小就更短,一两句或一个清单项说完,不硬套结构。

宁可少说,让用户来问,不要一次说完。

4. 用平实语言

短句,常用词,一句话只说一个意思。文件名、命令、接口名只在用户需要定位时才提,放在句子的次要位置。

完成标准:不看代码的人能复述出“改了什么、为什么”;清单按意图分类、能快速扫读,且没有逐文件或逐行的罗列。

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
