diff-tour
Diff Tour turns a git change into a guided, read-only walkthrough in the terminal, the way a senior engineer would review it.
Why it matters
Turns a git change into a guided tour of how a senior engineer would review it. It's for developers who want to understand AI-written or unfamiliar changes, not just merge them.
Highlights
- A read-only terminal UI: step through the tour with the arrow keys. It never changes your files or repository.
- The tour covers what the change is for, where to spend time, risky cases (failure, double runs, rollback, scale), and which findings must be fixed.
- Reviewer "wait" moments are posed as questions so you can predict the answer first.
- The tour is written by an LLM CLI you already use (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode 2 or Copilot CLI) and takes 2-5 minutes.
- English and Japanese interfaces.
Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.
Worth knowing: An early release; the tour format and screens may change.
