Show what changed in the database design between two versions of an open-erd workspace (a tag such as v1.0-handover, any commit, HEAD, or the uncommitted working copy), writing out/diff.svg and a Changes sheet and summarising the changes in plain words. Use when the user asks what changed in the DB or ERD since a release, a handover or a given commit; $open-erd-sync already draws the diff of its own changes.
Installs into .claude/skills of the current project.
