What it does

Check Config Diff is an agent skill from toshimaru/rubocop-rails_config. This skill should be used when the user asks to "check config diff", "compare upstream config", "diff rubocop config", "sync with Rails rubocop", or wants to see differences between the upstream Rails .rubocop.yml and this repository's config/rails.yml.

Its SKILL.md is about 290 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 Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. The repository describes itself as: RuboCop configuration which has the same code style checking as official Ruby on Rails. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to check config diff
  • Compare upstream config
  • Diff rubocop config
  • Sync with Rails rubocop

Example prompts

  • “check config diff”
  • “compare upstream config”
  • “diff rubocop config”
  • “/check-config-diff”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): WebFetch, Read

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Fetch the upstream Rails RuboCop configuration from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rails/rails/main/.rubocop.yml
  2. Read the local configuration from: config/rails.yml
  3. Compare both configurations and report

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5ab79eb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • WebFetch
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    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

Check Config Diff loads about 287 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 95 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~287

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.

Diff Upstream RuboCop Config

Compare the upstream Rails RuboCop configuration with this repository's config/rails.yml.

Instructions

  1. Fetch the upstream Rails RuboCop configuration from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rails/rails/main/.rubocop.yml
  2. Read the local configuration from: config/rails.yml
  3. Compare both configurations and report:
    • Cops/settings present in upstream but missing in local
    • Cops/settings present in local but missing in upstream
    • Cops/settings with different values between upstream and local
    • Note any intentional local additions (marked with comments like "Additional ... by rubocop-rails_config")

Output Format

Present the differences in a clear table or list format, grouped by category (AllCops, Layout, Style, Lint, Performance, Minitest, etc.).
