scoping-change-relevance

scoping-change-relevance is a skill for Claude Code from jaktestowac/awesome-copilot-for-testers. It costs 118 tokens per session (2,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for choosing which quality checks matter for a particular code change by examining its files and changed lines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a repeatable check list for commits, pull requests, reviews, and automated coding-agent work.
Why use it?
It avoids running every check on every change while preventing arbitrary decisions about what to test.

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

scoping-change-relevance 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 147 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scoping Change Relevance

Use this skill to decide, from the diff alone, which quality practices a specific change makes relevant - and to be able to defend the answer.

Running every check on every commit is slow, so teams stop gating on it. Running whatever the author felt like is fast and arbitrary. The middle path is a tag grammar: derive tags mechanically from the diff, map tags to practices with a fixed recipe table, and the scope becomes reproducible. Two people scoping the same diff should land on the same list.

When to Use

  • a pre-push or PR gate needs to run a subset of checks, chosen defensibly
  • a reviewer needs to know what this diff puts at risk before reading it
  • a slow suite has made "run everything" politically impossible
  • an agent needs a deterministic scope rather than a judgement call
  • a change looks trivial and you want to check whether it actually is

Operating Principles

  • Tags come from the diff, not from the author. "It's just a refactor" is a claim; new-public-export is evidence.
  • Added lines drive hunk tags. Read + lines. Removed lines matter for deletions of tests and guards, and nothing else here.
  • Relevance is a filter, not a discount. A practice out of scope is out of scope for this change; it does not become optional for the project.
  • Any auth, secret, migration, or dependency signal wins. These escalate immediately. There is no "small auth change".
  • Under-tagging is the expensive error. A false positive costs a check run. A false negative ships the defect. When a rule nearly matches, tag it.
  • Deleted guards are changes. A removed test, a removed validation, a loosened type - those are risk-increasing edits, not neutral cleanup.
  • Path is not proof. A file under auth/ is auth-relevant; a file elsewhere that verifies a token is too. Read the hunk.

Workflow

Phase 0: Pin the diff

git diff --name-status <base>...HEAD      # three-dot: compares against the merge base
git diff <base>...HEAD -- <path>          # per-file hunks
git log <base>..HEAD --oneline

What ships with it

3 files 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.
