# VS Code CLI Tools

See what changed between two files, side by side

## What this does

When someone tells you a file changed, a wall of text is hard to follow. This opens the comparison in VS Code so you can look at the two versions next to each other. Reach for it when you want to see a change before you accept it.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Show me the difference between these two files
- Open a diff I can actually read
- Compare an edited file against the original

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About VS Code CLI Tools

Connects the work to VS Code so file differences can be viewed there. When there is a change to show you, it puts it in the editor as a comparison rather than leaving it in the conversation.

Its use is narrow: viewing diffs and comparing files, for the moments when a difference needs to be shown to a person.

### Is VS Code CLI Tools safe to install?
