Compliant Research Diff Monitor

Use this skill for lightweight, compliant monitoring of public pages and research sources. Prefer respectful fetch intervals, source attribution, and change summaries over aggressive scraping.

Workflow

1. Confirm the URLs are public and appropriate to monitor.

2. Run scripts/research_diff.py with a URL list and snapshot directory.

3. Review changed sections and source evidence.

4. Report meaningful changes only; ignore boilerplate churn unless requested.

Script

python3 scripts/research_diff.py --urls urls.txt --snapshot-dir .research-snapshots --output diff-report.json

Parameters

• --urls: text file with one URL per line.
• --snapshot-dir: directory for previous/current text snapshots.
• --output: optional JSON report path.
• --user-agent: custom user agent for transparent identification.

Output

Return changed/unchanged/error counts, per-URL diff snippets, content hashes, timestamps, and compliance cautions.
