Compare two forecast snapshots to understand what moved between cycles. Surfaces new items, removed items, timing changes (push-outs, pull-ins), and amount changes. Includes forecast drift analysis and bias detection across rolling periods. Triggers: forecast vs forecast, FvF, forecast comparison, forecast drift, what changed in the forecast, compare F1 to F2, what moved between forecasts, forecast accuracy, forecast bias, are we forecasting worse, forecast roll-forward, forecast version…

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

# Forecast vs Forecast (Dehydrated)

## Intent

Compare two forecast snapshots — or track how a forecast has drifted over multiple
cycles — to explain what moved between versions. Answers: what items are new, what
disappeared, what changed in timing (push-outs, pull-ins), and what changed in amount.
Also surfaces systematic forecast bias across rolling periods.

Serves FP&A analysts tracking forecast accuracy, finance leadership understanding
forecast hygiene, and anyone who needs to explain "why did the forecast change?"

Not for: comparing actuals to a fixed plan (use `budget_vs_actuals`), revenue
performance narrative (use `revenue_analysis`), forward-looking scenarios (use
`scenario_planning`). The key distinction: this skill requires a table with a version
or snapshot identifier column — multiple forecast versions per period.

## Behavior

### Trigger Detection

Activate on: "forecast vs forecast", "FvF", "forecast comparison", "forecast drift",
"what changed in the forecast", "compare F1 to F2", "compare two forecasts",
"what moved between versions", "forecast accuracy", "forecast bias", "forecast hygiene",
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add snowflake-labs/coco-skills/forecast_vs_forecast@sha256:22b772baea407631

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.0, 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.
