changes-report

changes-report is a skill for Claude Code from yarlson/yarstack. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,083 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for summarizing all repository changes that entered a target branch during a specified date or period, grouped by product change rather than by commit or pull request.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for daily, weekly, or date-range change reports, including summaries of affected behavior and evidence from the repository.
Why use it?
It turns scattered version-control history into a plain-English account of what changed and why it matters, while requiring exact time boundaries.

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

changes-report 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 59 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Report Changes for a Period

Produce one evidence-based account of what changed and why it matters, independent of commit and pull request boundaries.

Required Input

Require a date or period. Accept a single YYYY-MM-DD date, an explicit start and end date, or a clear relative period such as today, this week, or last week. If the user did not specify one, ask which date or period to report and stop. If it cannot be resolved to exact bounds, ask for a precise date or period and stop.

Use the local system timezone unless the user specifies another timezone. Treat a single date as the half-open period from 00:00 on that date to 00:00 on the next date. Treat an explicit end date as inclusive by ending at 00:00 on the following date. Resolve calendar weeks from Monday at 00:00. End a relative period that includes the present, such as today or this week, at the current time; use full calendar bounds for completed periods such as yesterday or last week.

Before inspecting changes, record the resolved start, exclusive end, timezone, and human-readable period label. Use those exact bounds throughout the report.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the repository and target branch. Use the current repository and branch when the user does not name them. Fetch and read the remote-tracking branch, such as origin/main, because the local branch can be behind. If you cannot fetch, use the local branch and report the time of its last update as a limit.
  2. List the merge, squash, and direct commits that entered the target branch during the period with git log --first-parent --since=<start> --until=<end> --format='%H %cI %s' <branch>. Find the branch state before the period with git rev-list -1 --first-parent --before=<start> <branch>, and read the net change from that state to the last in-period commit. Then read individual diffs, full changed files, tests, configuration, and surrounding code as needed. First-parent history counts each merge once, with its constituent commits inside it.

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.
