A CLI tool that puts reviewer context alongside AI-generated diffs so humans can actually judge the change

AI agents now ship PRs faster than any human can read them, but the review surface is still raw diff on GitHub with no context about what the agent intended, what it changed elsewhere in the repo, or who last touched each file. Engineers approve changes they don't understand or waste 30+ minutes reconstructing context that the agent already had. This CLI tool surfaces that context locally before a PR even hits CI: agent intent, repo-wide impact, prior decisions, and a structured chapter-by-chapter breakdown so reviewers can give a real yes or no in minutes.

Gap Assessment

CompetitiveMultiple tools exist but differentiation opportunities remain

4 tools exist (CodeRabbit, Greptile, Stage, Bottleneck) but gaps remain: No CLI. No agent-intent context. No repo-wide impact map. Reviewer still opens GitHub and reads raw diff. High comment volume on style with low signal on logic correctness.; Web/bot only, no local CLI workflow. Reviewer context (agent intent, prior author decisions, change history) is not surfaced. No structured chapter navigation..

Features7 agent-ready prompts

Chapter-by-chapter diff navigator
Repo-wide impact map
Prior decision context per file

CodeRabbitAI bot that posts inline PR comments on GitHub and GitLab; 2M+ repos connected; reviews diff in isolation.No CLI. No agent-intent context. No repo-wide impact map. Reviewer still opens GitHub and reads raw diff. High comment volume on style with low signal on logic correctness.
GreptileIndexes the full repo and reviews each PR against the whole codebase; catches cross-file logic issues; enterprise SaaS.Web/bot only, no local CLI workflow. Reviewer context (agent intent, prior author decisions, change history) is not surfaced. No structured chapter navigation.
StageBreaks large PRs into structured chapters so reviewers can navigate them; CLI-adjacent; 130 HN points at launch.Chapter structure is auto-generated from the diff, not from agent intent. No repo-wide impact analysis. No prior-decision context per file. Early stage with limited integrations.
BottleneckElectron desktop app for reviewing agent PRs faster than GitHub web; early OSS.Desktop app, not CLI. No agent-intent extraction. No repo history per file. Requires leaving the terminal.
