diff-visual

A report that explains a Git change—such as a commit, branch, or pull request—by covering the earlier system, the idea, the extracted code, and a short quiz.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to catch up on a diff, explain a change to a teammate, or prepare for code review. It can produce an interactive HTML page or a Markdown report.
Why use it?
It gives a developer the background needed to understand an agent-written change before reviewing it.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 C, and why

diff-visual scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 2d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 530 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Diff Visual

Catch a reader up on a change before they review it. Most code now arrives written by an agent, which means the reader has no system already in their head — so the report answers, in order: what was here before (Background), what the idea is (Intuition), how the code realises it (Code), and whether the reader actually got it (Quiz).

When to run

  • Your agent finished a task and you're about to push — read it, pass the quiz, then send.
  • A teammate's PR is waiting — read it before you form an opinion.

The quiz is a speed regulator, not a gate. Nothing blocks a push (ADR 0003); "don't send it until you can pass" is a rule the reader keeps, not one the tool enforces. And nothing in the report says whether the change is good — that judgement is /code-review's and the reader's.

Voice: write like Martin Kleppmann — clear, flowing, each section handing off to the next. Follow every abstract sentence with something concrete.

Output is a self-contained interactive HTML page (default) or an inline markdown report. You write it directly — no templates, no intermediate JSON, no agent chains.

Instructions

Format Detection

Parse --format first:

Flag Values Default Meaning
--format html | md html html → full interactive page at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_DATA}/reports/. md → inline markdown report, delivered in the response
--local switch off Force the local design-system file — capable HTML publishes to an Artifact by default
--artifact switch retained no-op alias Already the default on capable HTML — kept so muscle memory / natural-language triggers don't break

Channel is decided by the shared contract, not re-derived here — read ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/design-system/channel-decision.md (SSOT, restates ADR 0009) for the (Format × capable) → channel table, flag semantics, and the optimistic-try-then-regenerate rule. The short version: capable HTML publishes to a claude.ai Artifact by default; --local forces the local page; md and non-capable sessions stay local.

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.

diff-visual is a skill published in the GitHub repository LeeJuOh/claude-code-zero (51 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 124 tokens to every session and 8,163 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
