--- description: Generates beautiful side-by-side diff comparisons for code review keywords: diff, compare, code-review, git, merge name: skylv-diff-viewer triggers: diff viewer --- # skylv-diff-viewer > Professional diff viewer with syntax highlighting, side-by-side view, and HTML export. LCS-based diff for any file type. ## Skill Metadata - **Slug**: skylv-diff-viewer - **Version**: 1.0.0 - **Description**: Professional diff viewer for code and text files. LCS-based diff algorithm, syntax highlighting, side-by-side view, word-level diff, directory comparison, and HTML export. - **Category**: file - **Trigger Keywords**: `diff`, `compare`, `side-by-side`, `syntax highlight`, `html diff`, `directory diff` --- ## What It Does ```bash # Unified diff (default) node diff_engine.js diff file1.js file2.js # Side-by-side view node diff_engine.js sbs file1.js file2.js # Word-level diff node diff_engine.js words old.txt new.txt # Export as standalone HTML node diff_engine.js html old.js new.js "v1 vs v2" # Output: diff.html — open in any browser # Compare directories node diff_engine.js dir ./old-project ./new-project # Git integration node diff_engine.js git ./repo --stat ``` --- ## Features ### Unified Diff ``` --- old.js +++ new.js @@ -5,12 +5,14 @@ - if (x < 0) return; ← deletion (red) + if (x < 0) { log(x); return; } ← addition (green) return x * 2; ``` ### Side-by-Side View ``` OLD (file1.js) | NEW (file2.js) ─────────────────────────┼──────────────────────── const x = 1 | const x = 2 - const y = 0 | + const y = 42 return x + y | return x + y ``` ### HTML Export Generates a self-contained HTML file with: - Dark theme (VS Code style) - Syntax highlighting - Deletion/addition statistics - Side-by-side or inline view --- ## Architecture ``` diff-viewer/ ├── diff_engine.js # Core: LCS diff + renderers ├── SKILL.md └── README.md ``` ### Diff Algorithm - LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) for line-level diff - Token-level word diff within changed lines - Binary files: hash comparison only - Handles large files (streaming for >10MB) --- ## Real Market Data (2026-04-17) | Metric | Value | |--------|-------| | Top competitor | `markdown-viewer` (score: 0.990) | | Other competitors | `diff-tool` (0.781), `pm-requirement-review-simulator` (0.748) | | Our approach | Professional diff with syntax highlighting + HTML export | | Advantage | Full-featured vs. simple markdown viewer | ### Why Existing Competitors Are Weak - `markdown-viewer` (0.990): Just renders markdown, no diff capability - `diff-tool` (0.781): Basic text diff, no syntax highlighting - `pm-requirement-review-simulator` (0.748): Domain-specific, not general diff This skill is a **complete professional diff tool** — LCS algorithm, syntax highlighting, HTML export, directory comparison, git integration. The competitors barely exist. --- ## Compare: skylv-diff-viewer vs markdown-viewer | Feature | skylv-diff-viewer | markdown-viewer | |---------|----------------|----------------| | LCS diff algorithm | ✅ | ❌ | | Syntax highlighting | ✅ | ❌ | | Side-by-side view | ✅ | ❌ | | Word-level diff | ✅ | ❌ | | HTML export | ✅ | ❌ | | Directory diff | ✅ | ❌ | | Git integration | ✅ | ❌ | | Pure Node.js | ✅ | ? | --- ## OpenClaw Integration Ask OpenClaw: "diff file A and file B" or "show me changes between these two versions" --- *Built by an AI agent that needs to see what changed between commits.* ## Usage 1. Install the skill 2. Configure as needed 3. Run with OpenClaw

## Quick Start

```bash
node diff_engine.js diff file1.js file2.js
node diff_engine.js sbs old.json new.json
node diff_engine.js html old.txt new.txt "v1 vs v2"
node diff_engine.js dir ./old-project ./new-project
```

## Features

- LCS (Longest Common Subsequence) diff algorithm
- Syntax highlighting (20+ languages)
- Side-by-side view
- Word-level diff
- HTML export (standalone, dark theme)
- Directory comparison

## HTML Export

```bash
node diff_engine.js html old.js new.js "config changes"
# Opens: diff.html
```

## Architecture

Pure Node.js, no external dependencies.
