explain-change
94 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By melodic-software/claude-code-plugins (GitHub) · coding · 30 stars · scanned at commit 677e798
Pull request explainer: a markdown digest of one PR (why, before and after, a checked risk map, annotated hunks, an optional quiz) with an optional interactive view. Never posts to the PR or gates merge. Use when asked to 'explain this PR' or 'walk me through this pull request', for a 'digest' of a PR, or where to focus in a diff.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'explain-change' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'explain-change' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named explain-change already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/melodic-software/claude-code-plugins' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '677e7988f432dacb5e2d4df2b124f96da8e8f9f3' -- 'plugins/review/skills/explain-change' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/review/skills/explain-change' ~/.agents/skills/'explain-change' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'explain-change' ~/.claude/skills/'explain-change' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
