What it does

Resource Diff Report is an agent skill from aztfmod/terraform-provider-azurecaf. Compare two versions of resourceDefinition.json (e.g., branch vs main) and produce a structured change summary. Triggers on: PR review, audit, before/after comparison.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: Terraform provider for the Terraform platform engineering for Azure. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Before/after comparison
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/resource-diff-report”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Get the two versions
  2. Extract resource names
  3. Identify changes
  4. Report
  5. Cleanup

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ac74615. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Resource Diff Report loads about 455 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 27 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~455

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Resource Diff Report

Procedure

1. Get the two versions

Branch vs main:

bash
git show origin/main:resourceDefinition.json > /tmp/rd-main.json
cp resourceDefinition.json /tmp/rd-branch.json

Or two arbitrary commits:

bash
git show <commit1>:resourceDefinition.json > /tmp/rd-before.json
git show <commit2>:resourceDefinition.json > /tmp/rd-after.json
2. Extract resource names
bash
grep '"name":' /tmp/rd-main.json | sed 's/.*"name": "//;s/".*//' | sort > /tmp/rd-names-main.txt
grep '"name":' /tmp/rd-branch.json | sed 's/.*"name": "//;s/".*//' | sort > /tmp/rd-names-branch.txt
3. Identify changes
bash
# New resources (in branch but not in main)
comm -13 /tmp/rd-names-main.txt /tmp/rd-names-branch.txt > /tmp/rd-added.txt

# Removed resources (in main but not in branch)
comm -23 /tmp/rd-names-main.txt /tmp/rd-names-branch.txt > /tmp/rd-removed.txt

# Common resources (check for field changes)
comm -12 /tmp/rd-names-main.txt /tmp/rd-names-branch.txt > /tmp/rd-common.txt
4. Report
## Resource Definition Changes

### Added (<count>)
| Resource | Slug | Length | Scope |
|----------|------|--------|-------|
| <name>   | <slug> | <min>-<max> | <scope> |

### Removed (<count>)
| Resource |
|----------|
| <name>   |

### Modified (<count>)
| Resource | Field | Before | After |
|----------|-------|--------|-------|
| <name>   | <field> | <old> | <new> |

### Summary
- Total resources: <before> → <after>
- Net change: +<added> / -<removed> / ~<modified>
5. Cleanup
bash
rm -f /tmp/rd-*.json /tmp/rd-*.txt
