diff-risk-explainer

A skill for briefly explaining small code changes. A diff is the line-by-line view of what changed between two versions of code.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for describing the contents and likely impact of small code diffs.
Why use it?
It gives developers a short summary of a small change without requiring them to inspect every modified line.

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

diff-risk-explainer 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.

What it actually says

diff-risk-explainer

Explain what changed in the diff. Keep it short.

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.

openmemory

Manage persistent memory via OpenMemory MCP. TRIGGER when: user says "remember this", "save to memory", "store this", "recall", "what do you remember about", "check memory", "forget this", "delete memory", "clean up memory", or when agent forms a stable conclusion worth persisting. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user refers to…

reflex-create

Use when the user notices a recurring pattern they want the system to learn ("I keep doing X", "every time Y happens", "make this automatic", "remember to always"), or when explicit phrases like "/reflex-create", "create reflex", "teach yourself" are used. Generates a new SKILL.md file from observed patterns.

Use when the user asks "what have you learned", "what do you remember about me", "show me memory stats", "memory state", "/reflexes", or any variant. Surfaces what the limbic engine has accumulated as patterns, not as a memory dump.
