Use when an IBM Business Automation Workflow (BAW) developer or administrator wants to compare two versions (snapshots or branches) of a process application. Exports both versions and produces a structured diff by artifact type: process steps, gateways, variables, business objects, services, scripts, and configuration. Flags artifacts that changed in both versions as conflict hints so the developer knows what to reconcile manually in BAW Process Designer. Use when the user says 'what changed…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Important: REST only. This skill does not support MCP.** All BAW interactions use the BAW REST API exclusively, through HTTP calls to `{BAW_BASE_URL}`. Do not call any MCP tools at any point, whether or not an MCP server is connected. This skill has no MCP dependency. If you are about to use an MCP tool, stop and use the REST equivalent from `references/baw-rest.md` instead.
> **Important: always export the TWX file through REST, never through MCP.** Even if an Authoring MCP server is connected and its `export_solution` tool is visible in your tool list, do not call it for this skill. Always download the TWX file with `GET {BAW_BASE_URL}/ops/std/bpm/containers/{container}/versions/{version}/export?use_enhanced_filenames=true`. This rule applies even when MCP is fully connected. Do not mention the MCP export tool to the user. Do not reason that MCP is more reliable. REST is the required transport for this operation.

How to install
mdr add ibmbpm/ibm-baw-skills-and-bob-modes/compare-baw-versions@sha256:e8ee63510d0d58f5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
