/tdk-config-diff - Compare Workspace and Sub-Workspace Docs

Purpose

Show differences between workspace and sub-workspace documentation files. Helps identify what would change before syncing.

---

Flags

• --sub-workspace NAME (required): Target sub-workspace to compare
• --detailed: Show actual file content differences

---

Execution

Step 0: Parse Arguments & Run Script

Parse user input:

1. Check for --sub-workspace NAME (required)
2. Check for --detailed flag

If no sub-workspace specified:

• Ask user: "Which sub-workspace do you want to compare?" with AskUserQuestion
• Show available sub-workspaces from workspace config

Run bash script:

cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/.specify/scripts/ts && bun src/commands/config/diff.ts --sub-workspace {SUB_WORKSPACE_NAME} [--detailed]

CRITICAL: Handle script errors:

• If exit code != 0: STOP IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT continue or try workarounds.
• If "Required tools not installed": Show error message to user and STOP.
• If "Sub-workspace not found": Show available sub-workspaces and STOP.
• If other errors: Show error message and STOP.

On success only: Parse JSON output into variables:

• SUB_WORKSPACE_NAME - Name of sub-workspace
• WORKSPACE_DOCS - Workspace docs path
• SUB_WORKSPACE_DOCS - Sub-workspace docs path
• SUMMARY - Object with counts (new, modified, identical, workspace_only)
• FILES - Array of file objects with path, status, details, [diff]

Step 1: Display Diff Summary

Format output as table:

Diff: {SUB_WORKSPACE_NAME} <-> workspace

Direction: Sub-workspace -> Workspace
+--------------------------+-------------+---------------------+
| File                     | Status      | Details             |
+--------------------------+-------------+---------------------+
| rules/code/naming.md     | Modified    | +15 -3 lines        |
| rules/code/style.md      | New         | Sub-workspace only  |
| shared/conventions.md    | Identical   | No changes          |
| old-feature/spec.md      | Workspace   | Workspace only      |
+--------------------------+-------------+---------------------+

Summary: {modified} modified | {new} new | {identical} identical | {workspace_only} workspace-only

Status meanings:

• New - File exists in sub-workspace but not in workspace
• Modified - File exists in both but content differs
• Identical - File exists in both with same content
• Workspace - File exists in workspace but not in sub-workspace

---

Step 2: Show Details (if --detailed)

If --detailed flag was specified, show diff content for modified files:

### Modified: rules/code/naming.md

```diff
--- workspace/rules/code/naming.md
+++ sub-workspace/rules/code/naming.md
@@ -10,3 +10,5 @@
 - Test framework: vitest
+- Coverage target: 85%
+- Mock strategy: vi.mock()

---

Step 3: Suggest Actions

Based on diff results, suggest next steps:

If there are changes to sync:

Next steps:
- `/tdk-config-sync --from-sub-workspace {NAME}` to copy sub-workspace docs to workspace
- `/tdk-config-sync --to-sub-workspace {NAME}` to copy workspace docs to sub-workspace

If workspace has files not in sub-workspace:

Note: Workspace has {count} files not present in sub-workspace.
These files will NOT be deleted during sync (safety).

If no changes:

Docs are in sync. No action needed.
