I use AI to write software, but I'm not yet ready to "let go" of understanding the code, so I made this tool which helps me focus my attention on the things that matter in a PR.

I was ready to not like this because yet another AI slop tool, but it's actually pretty neat.

Thanks! I did indeed write it with AI¹. It actually evolved from the approach I was using beforehand: asking every time my coding agent to break down the PR into steps and build an interface for me to go through them (because GitHub PR UI is effectively unusable for me). I got tired of burning tokens building the ~same UI over and over, so I thought "why not define a format for the review and build a decent UI just once?".
¹ Though actually the "harness of guidelines" I've been using recently make Claude not produce _complete_ garbage.

Can you run this entirely locally without uploading artifacts to your website?
Looks very neat, but many companies don’t permit pasting code into external websites without approvals.
