From the project README

Diffity Tree Skill

You are opening the diffity file tree browser so the user can browse repository files in the browser.

Instructions

  1. Check that diffity is available: run which diffity. If not found, install it with npm install -g diffity.

  2. Run diffity tree using the Bash tool with run_in_background: true:

    • The CLI handles everything: if an instance is already running for this repo it reuses it and opens the browser, otherwise it starts a new server and opens the browser.
    • Do NOT use & or --quiet — let the Bash tool handle backgrounding.

  3. Wait 2 seconds, then run diffity list --json to get the port.

  4. Tell the user diffity tree is running. Print the URL and keep it short — don't show session IDs, hashes, or other internals. Example:

    Diffity tree is running at http://localhost:5391

    When you're ready:

    • Leave comments on any file in your browser, then run /diffity-resolve-tree to fix them
