Document Comparison with Claude Code: Result JSON Schema
A production playbook for document comparison in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: result json schema, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Operations teams comparing versions
The problem
Operations teams comparing versions need document comparison to run repeatedly against old and new documents, diffs, and business rules. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Define the outer result contract once, let the document comparison skill own body.data, and reject terminal output that does not match the expected schema.
Tradeoffs and failure modes
Schema enforcement adds upfront design work, but removes prompt parsing from the product surface. For document comparison, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.
