graph-evolution

graph-evolution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from trailofbits/skills. It costs 97 tokens per session (3,077 once invoked), scanned A, original, CC-BY-SA-4.0.

A code-graph comparison tool that compares two code snapshots, such as commits, tags, or directories, to find structural changes related to security.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review new attack paths, changes in complexity or blast radius, taint-flow changes, and modifications to privilege boundaries between versions.
Why use it?
A text diff can miss changes in reachability, data flow, privilege boundaries, or the size of the code affected by a change.

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

graph-evolution 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/graph_diff.py), 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.

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.
