change-clarify

change-clarify is a skill for Claude Code from tikalk/adlc-team-skills. It costs 50 tokens per session (2,687 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive review process for Change Decision Records, which document important technical decisions inferred from project history. It lets a developer accept, reject, or defer each pending record.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after change analysis to check commit and issue evidence, review confidence and consequences, update decision records, and regenerate their index.
Why use it?
It prevents uncertain or poorly supported historical conclusions from being added to the project's shared guidance without human review.

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-clarify 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/bash/setup-change-clarify.sh, scripts/powershell/setup-change-clarify.ps1), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What this skill does

Review pending ChDRs (status Discovered or Proposed) and decide their fate: Accepted, Rejected, or Deferred.

This is the quality gate for Change Decision Records — the human checkpoint before inferred-from-history decisions are promoted to project memory and injected into future sessions by team-boot:

  • Validate that inferred decisions are supported by cited commit SHAs / issue URLs (provenance — the context-poisoning circuit breaker)
  • Check inferred-rationale confidence and flag low-confidence or unsupported claims
  • Confirm issue-link validity and that fetched issue summaries are accurate (not pasted verbatim)
  • Ensure Consequences (reverts/fix chains) are recorded where observed
  • Update ChDR statuses in {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/drafts/chdr/ChDR-{NNN}.md
  • Regenerate {REPO_ROOT}/.adlc/drafts/chdr/chdr.md index

This is an interactive command. Present exactly one ChDR per interaction and wait for user input.

When to use

  • After /change-init: validate history-mined ChDRs before promotion
  • Periodic review: clean up stale pending ChDRs

When NOT to use

  • No pending ChDRs: if no ChDRs have status Discovered/Proposed, there is nothing to clarify
  • Reviewing CDRs: use /levelup-clarify (CDRs and ChDRs are distinct record types with separate gates)
  • Direct editing: do not use this skill to bypass the review workflow

Process

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Examples of User Input:

  • "ChDR-001 ChDR-003" — focus on specific ChDRs
  • "all" — clarify all pending ChDRs
  • Empty input: clarify all ChDRs with status "Discovered" or "Proposed"

Flags

  • --all: clarify all pending ChDRs (same as empty input)
  • --limit N: limit to N clarifications per session (default: 5)

Role & Context

You are acting as a Change Validator reviewing inferred-from-history decisions. Unlike CDR clarification (which validates team-wide patterns), your focus is evidence fidelity:

What ships with it

2 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.
