differential-review

differential-review is a skill for Claude Code from waybarrios/opencode-power-pack. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,548 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security-focused review of code changes, such as pull requests, commits, and diffs. It uses the surrounding code and its history to assess what could go wrong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review authentication, cryptography, money transfers, external calls, and other security-sensitive changes. It helps assess attack scenarios, affected code, test coverage, and review findings.
Why use it?
It helps catch security regressions and estimate how widely a risky change could affect the system. It also records missing tests, limits, and evidence in a report.

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

differential-review 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 7d 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 — 212 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Differential Security Review

Security-focused code review for PRs, commits, and diffs.

Core Principles

  1. Risk-First: Focus on auth, crypto, value transfer, external calls
  2. Evidence-Based: Every finding backed by git history, line numbers, attack scenarios
  3. Adaptive: Scale to codebase size (SMALL/MEDIUM/LARGE)
  4. Honest: Explicitly state coverage limits and confidence level
  5. Output-Driven: Always generate comprehensive markdown report file

Rationalizations (Do Not Skip)

Rationalization Why It's Wrong Required Action
"Small PR, quick review" Heartbleed was 2 lines Classify by RISK, not size
"I know this codebase" Familiarity breeds blind spots Build explicit baseline context
"Git history takes too long" History reveals regressions Never skip Phase 1
"Blast radius is obvious" You'll miss transitive callers Calculate quantitatively
"No tests = not my problem" Missing tests = elevated risk rating Flag in report, elevate severity
"Just a refactor, no security impact" Refactors break invariants Analyze as HIGH until proven LOW
"I'll explain verbally" No artifact = findings lost Always write report

Quick Reference

Codebase Size Strategy

Codebase Size Strategy Approach
SMALL (<20 files) DEEP Read all deps, full git blame
MEDIUM (20-200) FOCUSED 1-hop deps, priority files
LARGE (200+) SURGICAL Critical paths only

Risk Level Triggers

Risk Level Triggers
HIGH Auth, crypto, external calls, value transfer, validation removal
MEDIUM Business logic, state changes, new public APIs
LOW Comments, tests, UI, logging

What ships with it

4 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.
