What problem does it solve?
Manually opening and scrolling through two files to spot differences is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when reviewing code changes or configuration updates. This Skill eliminates that hassle by automatically opening a clear side-by-side diff view in VSCodium.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Flexible File Resolution: Accepts explicit file paths as arguments, or can search your codebase to locate files if you provide a general description (e.g., "original config.json vs updated config.json").
- Existence Validation: Checks that both files exist before opening the diff, and suggests alternative files from the same directory if a specified file is missing.
- Use Case: Perfect for code review, verifying configuration changes, or checking document revisions—any scenario where you need to quickly identify differences between two versions of a file.
Quick Start
Use the compare skill to open a side-by-side diff view of the original 'app.config' file and the modified 'app.config' file to review all changes at a glance.
