Feature Request: Provide an openspec diff command to show differences between a spec and its modified version. #427
Description
Activity
@soc221b We had this in a very early version, but removed since the diff wasn't very readable inside of the terminal.
We're currently planning to update the workflow a bit since agents usually struggle to produce and archive the spec deltas currently. We'll revisit this as part of that.
Reacted by Ernest and zhihanHello, is there any update on this topic? What is the recommended way to generate diff?

I created a TUI tool to do this. Still pretty early, but I used it to build it! https://github.com/yshavit/opsxexplorer
My workflow is pretty simple, because I've only used OpenSpec on my personal projects so far: so, single-dev, linear history, etc. I can't make any guarantees as to how well this will look with more complex scenarios, and in particular, it's not at all integrated with OpenSpec's beta store feature.
Provide an openspec diff command or a similar feature to show differences between a spec and its modified version.
Currently, we can manually copy
/openspec/changes/*/specs/A.mdand paste it into/openspec/specs/A/spec.mdto compare it with the existing spec.It would be very useful to have a built-in diff feature to automatically highlight these differences.
Thanks for this powerful tool! ❤️
