Does this skill provide a summary of the work performed?

Yes, it generates a mandatory output format including change summaries, executed commands, results, and any pending tasks.

What is the main benefit of using plan-then-diff?

It forces a 'think-before-you-act' approach, ensuring potential breaking changes are identified and a clear strategy is set before implementation starts.

Is it suitable for complex refactoring projects?

Absolutely. The 2-6 step planning requirement is ideal for breaking down complex refactoring tasks into manageable, low-risk segments that are easier to review.

How does it help with impact analysis?

The skill specifically prompts for an evaluation of dependencies across APIs, smart contracts, bots, and documentation to ensure no side effects are overlooked.

Productivity & Workflow

Enforces a structured planning phase and detailed impact reporting before and after code implementation.

About

The plan-then-diff skill optimizes the development lifecycle by requiring a comprehensive pre-implementation strategy before any code is modified. It ensures that Claude identifies existing code dependencies and potential impact areas across contracts, APIs, and bots before writing a single line of code. By mandating a 2-6 step action plan and a post-execution report of commands and results, it reduces errors, improves code quality, and provides a clear audit trail of all changes made within the repository.

Key Features

0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Improving project transparency by generating standardized reports of executed terminal commands.
Preventing regressions by analyzing impact on existing API endpoints before refactoring.
Managing complex multi-step features by breaking them into verified implementation plans.
