Side-by-Side View

─────────────────────────┼────────────────────────
const x = 1              | const x = 2
- const y = 0            | + const y = 42
  return x + y           |   return x + y

• Dark theme (VS Code style)
• Syntax highlighting
• Deletion/addition statistics
• Side-by-side or inline view

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)

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
