A workflow for comparing code changes with project specifications and resolving important differences.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a branch's changes, compare them with repository specifications, and update the code or specifications based on decisions.
Why use it?
It finds cases where the implementation does not match the documented requirements.

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

validate-changes-match-specs 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 3d 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.

Validate changes match specs

Contract

Field Bound contract
Trigger Resolving mismatches between specs and implementation.
Authority Reversible local writes to named files only. Roll back any edit that diverges from a user-approved decision.
Side effect Walks through mismatches and edits code or specs per user decisions.
Done Summary states specs checked, mismatches resolved, files changed, validation run.

Inputs

The skill reads the current branch diff and any specs present in the repository. No external services are required. Credentials, paid actions, publishing, deployment, and remote bulk mutation are not authorized. The user must supply a base branch or confirm the detected base when prompted.

Procedure

  1. Identify changed files. Use git merge-base with the detected base branch and git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD to list all files introduced or modified by the current branch. Done when: every changed file is identified against the confirmed base.

  2. Discover specs. From the diff, find specs introduced or modified, especially under specs/ or matching PRODUCT.md, TECH.md, SECURITY.md, MIGRATION.md, ROLLBACK.md, API.md, TESTING.md, or PRIVACY.md. Also check the PR description, commit messages, and branch name for referenced spec paths. If no relevant spec exists, stop and report that there is no spec to validate against. Done when: every relevant spec is found or the no-spec result is reported.

  3. Read specs. Read every relevant spec file completely before assessing implementation. Done when: every relevant spec has been read completely.

  4. Extract commitments. From specs, PR descriptions, commit messages, and review comments, extract facts and commitments into categories:

    • Product behavior: user-visible behavior, UX flows, success criteria, constraints, and edge cases.
    • Technical implementation: files, components, APIs, data models, migrations, feature flags, architecture, dependencies, and rollout mechanics.
    • Security and privacy: authentication, authorization, permission boundaries, secrets, data handling, logging, retention, abuse cases, and compliance claims.
    • Validation: required tests, manual checks, CI commands, migration checks, and acceptance criteria.
    • Non-goals: scope exclusions and intentionally deferred work.

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.
