## Document Comparison

When asked to compare documents:

1. **Read both versions** and extract full text
2. **Compute differences** at the paragraph or sentence level using Python's difflib
3. **Categorize each change**:
- Formatting only (spacing, capitalization)
- Minor wording (synonyms, clarifications)
- Substantive (numbers, dates, terms, obligations, new/removed clauses)
4. **If the user mentions areas of interest** (e.g., "payment terms"), search both documents for those sections and present a focused comparison
5. **Create a report** with:
- Summary of changes by category
- Substantive changes with full surrounding context
- Side-by-side view of key sections
6. **Save** as Markdown and HTML

Always flag changes affecting financial terms, legal obligations, or deadlines.
