# Diffcheck
Create shareable Diffchecker URLs from the CLI using `diffcheck`.
If `diffcheck` is not found, install it first: `uv tool install diffchecker-skill`
## Setup
```bash
# Store your session cookie (one-time, optional — works without auth too)
diffcheck login '<diffsession_cookie_value>'
diffcheck whoami
```
## Commands
```bash
# Compare two files
diffcheck diff file1.txt file2.txt
# Compare with title and expiry
diffcheck diff old.py new.py --title "refactor auth" --expiry 1_week
# Compare inline text
diffcheck diff --left-text "hello world" --right-text "hello earth" dummy
# Pipe left from stdin, right from file
cat old_version.py | diffcheck diff - new_version.py --title "migration changes"
# Full JSON response
diffcheck diff a.txt b.txt --json
# Private diff
diffcheck diff a.txt b.txt --private
```
## Expiry Options
`1_hour`, `1_day` (default), `1_week`, `1_month`, `forever`
## Typical Workflow
When the user asks to share a diff or compare content:
1. Write left/right content to temp files if needed
2. Run `diffcheck diff <left> <right> --title "descriptive title"`
3. Return the URL to the user
Example with git changes:
```bash
git diff HEAD~1 -- path/to/file > /tmp/old.txt
git show HEAD:path/to/file > /tmp/new.txt
diffcheck diff /tmp/old.txt /tmp/new.txt --title "latest commit changes"
```
