Compare two versions of a skill's instructions to detect degradations and complexity increases. TRIGGER when: user asks to diff, compare, or review changes to a skill's markdown instructions. Asymmetric check — only regressions count. Additions, clarifications, and strengthenings are not degradations. Compares HEAD → working tree by default. Walks the full reachable file set from SKILL.md via markdown links. Produces a report file under docs/reviews/diff-skill/ and an inline summary.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Diff Skill Instructions

**Goal: Detect whether an edit to a skill's markdown instructions introduced degradations or made the skill harder for an LLM to follow.**

Two judgment axes:

1. **Degradation (asymmetric)** — load-bearing instruction dropped, constraint weakened, verification step removed, scope narrowed, required output dropped, or reference broken. Content relocated but preserved is neutral.
2. **Complexity** — split into _regressions_ (introduced or worsened by the edit, affects verdict) and _pre-existing advisories_ (exist regardless of the edit, surfaced as improvement opportunities, does NOT affect verdict).

## Conventions

- **Read capy knowledge base conventions** at [shared-capy-knowledge-protocol.md](shared-capy-knowledge-protocol.md).

## Required Outputs

- [ ] Report written to `docs/reviews/diff-skill/<slug>-<sha-a>-<sha-b>.md`
- [ ] Inline summary presented (under 10 lines: verdict, finding counts, report path)
- [ ] Capy indexed under `kk:review-findings` if any degradation or complexity regression findings exist (skip on clean results and pre-existing advisories)

## Invocation

```
/kk:diff-skill <skill-name>
```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add serpro69/claude-toolbox/diff-skill@sha256:cc43248b08b5a490

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.d0fb1be, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
