parity-gap

parity-gap is a skill for Claude Code from uwuclxdy/agenticat. It costs 24 tokens per session (1,172 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that compares a program with a reference, such as another codebase or a feature specification, and records the missing or different parts in docs/todo.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare repositories or written specifications against the current program, identify missing commands, APIs, settings, or behaviours, and create follow-up tasks.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear comparison into a concrete list of work while requiring the scope to be clarified before tasks are written.

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

parity-gap 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Parity Gap

Bring this program (default: cwd) up to (and past) a reference. Map both sides, diff them, confirm scope in rounds of 4 questions before writing anything, then author tasks into docs/todo.md, via the todo skill if installed or directly otherwise.

1. Resolve the Inputs First

  • this program defaults to the working directory. Name another explicitly to override.
  • reference is one of:
    • a remote repository: clone it into a temp dir then treat as local codebase.
    • a local codebase (path on disk): read its tree, entrypoints, commands, modules.
    • a docs/spec/feature list (file or pasted text): treat every command, endpoint, flag, or behavior it describes as a reference feature.
  • If either is ambiguous (which repo? which spec?) or the reference can't be reached once identified (private, no network, no read access), ask anything and no guesses before mapping.

2. Map Each Side (Inline, Single-Pass)

Map what each side exposes to an end user; skip internals and file structure. The user-reachable surface:

  • commands / subcommands / flags
  • exported APIs, routes, endpoints
  • config keys, env vars
  • UI/TUI/CLI surfaces and the actions they expose
  • notable behaviors, formats, integrations

Use Grep/Read/semantic code search inline. The reference is the spec side, so read it thoroughly; the program is the have side. If the reference is too big to hold inline, offload its mapping to a read-only exploration subagent (e.g. Explore) and diff from the returned inventory.

3. Diff into Two Buckets

  • Parity gaps: capabilities the reference has that this program lacks. The core of the output.
  • Improvements: things beyond the reference (better defaults, affordances the reference itself lacks, wins spotted during mapping). List these in their own section; never mix them into the parity list.

Drop anything the program already has. Note cascade order where one gap blocks others.

4. Confirm Scope

Before writing a single task, run clarifying questions through AskUserQuestion (max 4 per round, batched rather than trickled), looping rounds until scope is nailed. (On other harnesses, check for a native equivalent first: opencode's question tool, gemini-cli's ask_user tool, or codex's request_user_input [Plan Mode only]. Fall back to a plain numbered message and wait for answers only if none is available.) This gate is the point of the skill: the user reviews the gap list as questions, not as a finished file.

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.

parity-gap is a skill published in the GitHub repository uwuclxdy/agenticat (5 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 1,172 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
