change-classification

change-classification is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 86 tokens per session (902 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A review step that sorts each changed file into relevant, uncertain, or unrelated before it is committed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect branch differences, staged files, issue context, and nearby tests before committing.
Why use it?
It helps prevent accidental files, secrets, and unrelated work from being added to a commit.

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

change-classification 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 19d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 53 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change Classification

Contract

Iron law: classify before committing — every changed file gets a classification; unclassified files are not staged. Invoked by /flow:commit (Phase 2 CLASSIFY, cross-check), /flow:start (CODE phase per-task gate, step 8), /flow:address (after fixes), /flow:debug, and /flow:pr (pre-flight). Returns a finding-first table — File | Classification | Signal | Notes — with each file marked in-context, uncertain, out-of-context, or RED FLAG, plus first-touch notes and proposed atomic commit groups. Permitted skips: none. Red-flag files are blocked regardless of context; uncertain or out-of-context files go to the user via a six-field AskUserQuestion escalation before any commit.

Signals

Evaluate in order: red flags, primary, secondary, default → uncertain.

Category Signal Result
Red flag .env, .env.<environment> (not .env.example / .env.sample, which are committable templates), credentials*, *secret*, key files BLOCK — never commit
Red flag *.lock, package-lock.json, files >1MB, auto-generated WARN — verify intentional
Primary In branch diff (git diff --name-only $DEFAULT_BRANCH...HEAD) in-context
Primary Path matches issue title/body keywords in-context
Primary Path referenced in a TaskList task, or same top-level directory as task files in-context
Secondary Sibling of an in-context file; test companion (foo.rb ↔ foo_test.rb) lean in-context
Secondary Config/dotfile/manifest in project root uncertain
Secondary Unrelated directory, no link to issue or tasks out-of-context

Boy Scout cleanup (lint, format, typo, obvious bug) in a file already in the branch diff is the boy-scout subtype of in-context and uses the improve commit type. Weights, thresholds, and commit-type inference: references/classification-signals.md.

First-Touch Detection

A file is "first touch" when git log $DEFAULT_BRANCH..HEAD -- file is empty AND it has >50 lines added. Note it regardless of classification; it gets extra review attention.

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.
