Show all adopted DexDiff workflows — what's installed, when it was adopted, and what it includes

What it does

Diff List is an agent skill from davekilleen/Dex. Show all adopted DexDiff workflows — what's installed, when it was adopted, and what it includes

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Your AI Chief of Staff — a personal operating system starter kit that adapts to your role. No coding required.

Example prompts

  • “/diff-list”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read Adoption Logs (both locations)
  2. Display Summary
  3. Health Check (Optional)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ab5d6ad. 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:

    • bundle

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Diff List loads about 495 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 27 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~27
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~495

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 126 words (~495 tokens).

“In plain English: Shows you everything you've adopted via /diff-adopt — which workflows are installed, when you adopted them, and what skills they added.”
