| name | difit-review |
| description | A skill for reviewing a specific diff and showing the findings as comments inside difit (the diff viewer). Use it to review branch diffs, commit diffs, or GitHub PRs, then preload findings or code explanations into difit with `--comment` before launching it for the user. |
Difit Review
Overview
This skill launches a requested git diff in a viewer that is easy for humans to read. At the same time, the agent can attach arbitrary comments via the --comment option.
This comment mechanism is well suited for code review findings and code explanations.
Before running commands, choose <difit-command> using the following rule:
- If
command -v difit succeeds, use difit.
- Otherwise, use
npx difit.
- If falling back to
npx difit would require network access in a sandboxed environment without network permission, request escalated permissions and user approval before running it.
Steps
The final command typically looks like this:
<difit-command> <target> [compare-with] \
--comment '{"type":"thread","filePath":"src/foobar.ts","position":{"side":"old","line":102},"body":"line 1\nline 2"}' \
--comment '{"type":"thread","filePath":"src/example.ts","position":{"side":"new","line":{"start":36,"end":39}},"body":"Range comment for L36-L39"}'
The detailed procedure is as follows.
- Identify the target diff and review its contents.
- Inspect the diff specified by the user. This may be a local git revision, a GitHub URL, a patch file, or something similar.
- Understand the diff normally, inspect surrounding code when needed, and think through the response required by the user's request, whether that is review findings, explanations, or something else.
