 Build complete diff of all changes for this story.
 
-**Determine diff source:**
+**Step 1a: Read baseline from story file**
 
-If uncommitted changes exist for story files:
+Extract `Baseline Commit` from the story file's Dev Agent Record section.
+
+- If found and not "NO_GIT": use as `{baseline_commit}`
+- If "NO_GIT" or missing: proceed to fallback
+
+**Step 1b: Construct diff (with baseline)**
+
+If `{baseline_commit}` is a valid commit hash:
 
 ```bash
-git diff
-git diff --cached
+git diff {baseline_commit} -- ':!{implementation_artifacts}'
 ```
 
-If story work is already committed, find story-related commits:
+This captures all changes (committed + uncommitted) since dev-story started.
 
-```bash
-# Find commits that reference this story
-git log --oneline --all --grep="{story_key}" --format="%H"
-# Or find recent commits touching story files
-git log --oneline -10 -- {story_file_list}
-```
+**Step 1c: Fallback (no baseline)**
 
-Then construct diff:
+If no baseline available, review current state of files in `{file_list}`:
 
-```bash
-git diff {first_story_commit}^..HEAD -- {files}
-```
+- Read each file listed in the story's File List section
+- Review as full file content (not a diff)
