json-diff from lethe044/agentskill-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add lethe044/agentskill-kit/json-diff@v1.0.0

Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Compares two JSON files structurally and lists added, removed and changed values with their full paths. Use when the user asks what changed between two API responses, config files, fixtures or package manifests.

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

# JSON diff

A structural comparison that ignores key order and formatting, which a plain text diff cannot do.

## When to use

- Two API responses should be the same but a test fails.
- A config or lock file changed and the user wants to know exactly which values moved.
- Comparing a fixture with the output of the code that is supposed to produce it.

## How to run

```bash
python scripts/json_diff.py old.json new.json
```

## Output

JSON with `identical` (boolean), `count` and `changes`. Every change has a `path`
(for example `users[1].email`), a `change` of `added`, `removed` or `changed`, and the `old` and `new` values
where they apply. The exit code is 1 when the files differ, 0 when they match.

## Reading the result

1. If `identical` is true, say so and stop.
2. Group the changes by the first path segment so the user sees which area moved.
3. Call out type changes (for example a number that became a string), they cause the subtle bugs.
4. Arrays are compared by position. If order is not meaningful, tell the user the diff may be noisy.

## Errors

A missing file exits with code 2. Invalid JSON exits with code 3 and names the file.

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add lethe044/agentskill-kit/json-diff@sha256:f8266ad1497f3734

The 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.
