zeroclaw: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/wit-breaking-change-check/SKILL.md

wit-breaking-change-check is a skill for Claude Code from zeroclaw-labs/zeroclaw. It costs 88 tokens per session (582 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A checker for WIT interface changes, where WIT files define the functions and data types that components use to communicate. It compares changes with frozen version markers and classifies each one as breaking or non-breaking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing WIT diffs, checking changes under wit/, verifying compatibility with frozen versions, and assessing whether a plugin-compatible release is safe.
Why use it?
It reveals whether an interface edit could stop existing plugins or components from working. This gives developers a compatibility check before merging or publishing changes.

About the project

ZeroClaw is a Rust-based runtime for running a personal AI assistant on a user's own machine, with connections to language-model providers, communication channels, and external tools. It is for people who want to operate an assistant across channels such as Discord, Telegram, email, voice, webhooks, or a command line while keeping control of its data and credentials. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and agents for using ZeroClaw.

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

wit-breaking-change-check 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 11d 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.

WIT Breaking Change Check

Classifies every modification in the current WIT diff against the breaking-change taxonomy and reports a verdict for each finding.

When to Use

  • Before merging any branch that touches wit/
  • When reviewing a PR that modifies WIT interface definitions
  • To verify a WIT change is safe before publishing a plugin-compatible release

Procedure

  1. Run git diff origin/master -- wit/ to obtain the current diff.
  2. For each wit/vN/ directory in the diff, check whether wit/vN/.frozen exists. If absent, report the version as experimental and state that components must be rebuilt against the WIT shipped by the target host; do not claim the frozen-version compatibility window applies.
  3. For each frozen version with changes, classify every modification against the breaking-change taxonomy in wit/VERSIONING.md:
    • Breaking: removing/renaming any type, function, record field, enum case, or variant case; adding a case to an existing enum or variant; changing a function signature; changing a field type; reordering record fields; adding a required (non-optional) field to an existing record; adding a non-capability-gated required function to an existing interface.
    • Non-breaking: new flags bits, new capability-gated functions, new record/variant/enum types (but not cases added to an existing enum or variant), new interfaces, new worlds, @since/@unstable annotation additions.
  4. Report each finding with a verdict:
    • ✅ Non-breaking — with a brief reason citing the taxonomy
    • ❌ Breaking — with a brief reason citing the taxonomy
    • ⚠️ Uncertain — with the ambiguity explained
  5. If any breaking change is found, summarize the required migration path for plugin authors. For an unfrozen experimental version, state that components must be rebuilt against the target host's shipped WIT; the current-and-previous-major host compatibility window begins only after a version directory is frozen.

Notes

The .frozen marker is a human-readable convention: its presence signals to reviewers and this skill that the version is stable and requires the breaking-change check before merge. For experimental (unfrozen) versions, report the target-host rebuild requirement without assigning a frozen-version compatibility verdict.

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.
