Ask HN: What tool/process do you use to understand code changes made by agents?

I often feel out of control as the agents make a whole lot of changes to the code. What tools do you use to understand the code changes and to accept/reject the changes.

I sometimes use the following prompt:
I want to review this branch, but I don't fully understand what the code actually does. Give me recursive multiple-choice options so I can indicate which part I would like an explanation of. For the selected part, also provide a review. Then give me additional multiple-choice options for explanations of even more detailed aspects of that part, where possible. Continue this process until I indicate that I understand everything.
