Feature & Specification Comparison

Summary	Intent-aware visual verification for coding agents: the agent declares what a UI change should affect, and SnapDiff diffs the page against a baseline and flags anything that changed outside that intent for review or rollback — local screenshot capture via Playwright.	Design-fidelity checks for AI agents: compare a Figma frame (or any design screenshot) against the rendered implementation and get structured discrepancies with CSS properties and severity. Resolves a natural-language component description to a URL + selector in your codebase, screenshots it with Playwright, and compares via vision AI using your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription — no API keys. 90% mutation recall, zero false positives on its golden eval set. npx -y kiyas-cli mcp
