change-classification

change-classification is a skill for Claude Code from synaptiai/synapti-marketplace. It costs 86 tokens per session (859 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 6d 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 — 98 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Change Classification

Domain skill for analyzing and classifying code changes before committing.

Iron Law

CLASSIFY BEFORE COMMITTING. Every changed file gets a classification. Unclassified files do not get staged.

Committing without classification is how out-of-context changes, secrets, and unintended modifications reach the repository.

Classification Algorithm

For each changed file, evaluate signals to classify as: in-context, uncertain, or out-of-context.

Primary Signals (Strong)

Signal Classification Detection
File already in branch diff in-context git diff --name-only $DEFAULT_BRANCH...HEAD includes file
File matches issue keywords in-context File path contains words from issue title/body
File in active task in-context File path matches TaskList task descriptions
File matches task directory in-context Same top-level directory as task-related files

Secondary Signals (Supporting)

Signal Classification Detection
Same directory as other changes lean in-context Sibling of already-classified in-context file
Test file for changed module lean in-context Naming convention match (e.g., foo.rbfoo_test.rb)
Config in project root uncertain Changes to dotfiles, config, package manifests
Unrelated directory out-of-context No connection to issue or tasks

Red Flags

These always get flagged regardless of context:

Pattern Action
.env*, credentials*, *secret* Block — never commit
*.lock, package-lock.json Warn — verify intentional
Large binary files (>1MB) Warn — verify intentional
Auto-generated files Note — may need regeneration

First-Touch Detection

A file is "first touch" when:

  • 0 commits on the current branch modify it (git log $DEFAULT_BRANCH..HEAD -- file is empty)
  • Large additions (>50 lines added)

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.
