What’s Changed

Resizable sidebars

The file-tree panel and the comments panel both have drag handles on their inner edge. Widths persist across runs (consolidated into a single crit-settings cookie alongside the other UI prefs).

What’s Changed

PR-scoped and commit-range review

crit pr 1234 opens the PR diff scoped to the layer you’re reviewing, with a stack popover for hopping between branches in the chain. crit --range A..B does the same for any commit range. The popover surfaces the default branch as a non-interactive root marker and lists every reachable tip with full-stack vs layer scope toggles, so reviewing a stacked diff feels like reviewing a single PR.

Review-level comments

General feedback that doesn’t belong on a specific line now lives in a dedicated “Review conversation” section. Add, reply, edit, resolve - same threading model as line comments, but for the review as a whole. Drafts you’re typing survive sibling state changes (adding a reply elsewhere no longer wipes your in-progress comment).

What’s Changed

Comments panel redesign

The comments panel has been rebuilt with a segmented filter (All / Open / Resolved) and collapsible groups. Pair it with the new “hide resolved comments” setting (h shortcut) to focus on what’s still open during a review.

  • feat: redesign comments panel with segmented filter and collapsible groups by @tomasz-tomczyk in #354 - thanks @omervk for suggestions in this area!

What’s Changed

Diff context expansion

You can now expand collapsed diff sections directly in the review UI - click gutter icons to reveal context above, below, or between hunks. Small gaps auto-expand, and sections with comments unfold automatically. Thanks @omry for suggestions in this area!

  • feat: auto-expand small unchanged gaps between diff hunks (#337) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #337
  • feat: add expand controls before first and after last diff hunk (#338) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #338

  • feat: GitHub-style diff expand controls with gutter icons (#343) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #343
  • fix: auto-expand diff spacers when comments exist on folded lines (#333) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #333

Comment carry-forward

Review comments now follow the code - when lines move out of a diff hunk, comments render inline at their outdated position instead of disappearing.

  • feat: extend comment carry-forward to code files (#324) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #324
  • feat: render outdated comments inline when lines leave diff hunks (#325) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #325
  • fix: preserve GitHubID in carryForwardComment to prevent duplicate PR comments (#340) by @tomasz-tomczyk in #340

Sapling SCM support

crit now works with Sapling in addition to Git. This includes automatic VCS detection, branch management, and all existing review workflows. (Thanks @omry for support!)

v0.9.2

What’s Changed

Content-based comment anchoring

When you leave a comment, crit now stores the full text of the commented lines as an anchor. During carry-forward between rounds, if the LCS-remapped line no longer matches the anchor text, crit searches the entire file for the original content. If multiple matches exist, it picks the one closest to the LCS-suggested position. Comments land on the right code even after refactors that shift line numbers.

  • feat: content-based comment anchoring for carry-forward positioning by @tomasz-tomczyk in #296

Orphaned comments on removed files

When a file receives comments and is later deleted from the branch, those comments used to vanish silently. Now crit detects removed files that still have comments and surfaces them in the UI so nothing gets lost.

v0.9.1

What’s Changed

The included agent plugins & skill files got a little cleaner. /crit is the only user-facing command. You can still ask the agent to comment using crit or share and it should load the appriopriate skill.

Centralized review storage

Review data now lives in ~/.crit/reviews/<key>.json instead of <repo>/.crit.json. Each branch gets its own isolated storage, so switching branches no longer causes comment bleed or round number conflicts. Thanks to @omervk for continuous feedback leading to this improvement!

Settings panel

The Settings tab shows detected integrations and lets you change the content width used in file mode (new setting).

  • feat: settings panel with config status, content width toggle by @tomasz-tomczyk in #261
  • fix: settings panel polish — independent copy snippets, agent cmd layout by @tomasz-tomczyk in #268

What’s Changed

crit auth brings login, logout, and whoami to the CLI, backed by the oAuth Device Flow. Pair it with crit.md (we use GitHub for authentication), or self-host crit-web with your own oAuth app if you need a private stack.

You don’t need an account to share; logging in is optional - for now it just makes it easier to find your reviews on crit.md. Expect more signed-in features in future releases.

v0.8.3

What’s Changed

This release eliminates the daemon startup timeout that blocked large repos — session init is now fully deferred, so the browser opens instantly while files load in the background. PR detection was also moved off the critical path, cutting another ~6s from perceived startup. Several race conditions and edge cases around scope cookies, file-arg sessions, and round completion are fixed.

Faster startup

v0.8.2

What’s Changed

When a review has more than 100 files, crit now eagerly loads only the first 100 (content + diff). The rest appear as collapsed headers and load on demand when you expand them, with a loading spinner and a 30-second diff timeout. Keeps the UI snappy on large changesets.

  • feat: lazy file loading for large changesets by @tomasz-tomczyk in #227 - inspired by a report from Brian K - thank you!

A new dropdown in the header lets you change which branch diffs are computed against, following GitHub’s [base ▾] ← current-branch layout. No more noisy diffs when your branch was forked from a non-default branch.

What’s Changed

crit plan - plan review workflows

Two new subcommands for reviewing AI-generated plans before execution. crit plan opens a review session for a plan file; crit plan-hook is designed to be wired as a Claude Code PermissionRequest hook for ExitPlanMode, blocking the agent from proceeding until you approve.

You shouldn’t need to learn anything new - this should be used automatically by our Claude Code plugin when combined with planning mode.

crit fetch - two-way review workflow

crit fetch pulls comments from crit-web back into your local session, making the review loop fully bidirectional. Pair it with crit share to post a diff for async review, then fetch the comments when your reviewer is done.

This is included in the prompts automatically and you shouldn’t need to use this manually.

What’s Changed

Send to agent (experimental)

New: Send now button in your comment forms. When you send a comment this way, it will immediately spawn your chosen agent’s CLI, pass in the comment as the prompt with some context around the file you’re commenting on. Great for adhoc questions or clarifications that might not need the full review loop.

Add agent_cmd key to your .crit.config.json to enable this feature (see README.md).

Thank you to @jbrooksbartlett for the idea! ❤️

File-level and review-level comments

You can now leave comments that aren’t anchored to a specific line — useful for architectural feedback, general suggestions, or review-wide notes. The review comments live in the comment side panel. Used by default when submitting with crit push to GitHub.

PR overview panel

A new panel shows PR metadata (title, description, status) inline in the review UI, so you don’t have to context-switch to GitHub to remember what you’re reviewing. Click the PR # in the header to toggle.

v0.6.1

What’s Changed

This release hardens crit’s architecture with a daemon-based review model — crit now spawns a background daemon and acts as a thin client, replacing the old crit go / crit listen split.

The review UI shows a clickable PR link in the header when your branch has an open pull request - orange when it’s a draft.

v0.6.0

What’s Changed

This release adds comment threading, per-commit review, and file references — three features that make crit reviews feel much closer to a full GitHub PR review, but locally.

We have a new home - https://crit.md/ - tell your friends! The previous domain, crit.live will continue to work for now.

Comment threading and replies

Comments now support threaded replies with a GitHub-style inline reply input that expands on focus. Collapse and expand any comment thread, resolve/unresolve from the UI, and replies are included when you share a review.

Note: You may need to update the plugin (if using Claude Code) or manually install the latest /crit command and SKILL.md:

crit install claude-code   # or: cursor, opencode, windsurf, github-copilot, cline

Commit selection

A new sidebar lets you filter the review to a single commit, so you can review changes one commit at a time instead of the full diff.

File picker autocomplete

Type @ in any comment textarea to get fuzzy file picker autocomplete. File references render as styled inline tokens in comments.

What’s Changed

This release greatly improves some of our core commenting & diff functionality.

You can select any text to begin a comment. Those selected words will be recorded as a quote in the metadata for your comment in JSON, allowing more granularity for your feedback to your agent.

File mode diff view has been improved greatly - in the split view, we align horizontally the right sections together for easier comparison.

New: word-level diff highlighting, to make it easier to spot what’s actually changed.

What’s Changed

To upgrade:

Workflow changes

You no longer have to manually copy/paste the prompt into the right terminal window!

I’ve added crit listen command which the agent should launch immediately after launching crit and each round. It blocks the agent and listens for you to hit Finish review in the UI.

I published crit as a plugin, which should make it easier to use and keep up to date with the commands and SKILL.md changes.

Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add tomasz-tomczyk/crit
/plugin install crit

I’m trying to get published in the Claude Code and Cursor marketplaces - please ⭐ star the repo if you haven’t - it will help greatly - thank you!

  • refactor: restructure integrations as plugins with marketplace support by @tomasz-tomczyk in #62

Sharing

This release greatly improves the share capability. Please note, I added crit.live as the default share target but you can set SHARE_URL or share_url in config to a blank string to completely disable the sharing functionality.

I open sourced the web server package at crit-web! See full instructions for selfhosting there.

You can ask your agent to generate a share URL or QR code. Useful for planning on the go as our web view of the markdown files is mobile-friendly.

What’s Changed

I’m very excited for this release! Several new features based on experience from dogfooding it for all my work as well as suggestions from our little community! Everyone who has reached out has been extremely thoughtful and kind. I truly appreciate all the feedback and comments, so please continue! ❤️

To upgrade:

brew update && brew upgrade crit

Config

Crit now reads a config file — ~/.crit.config.json globally, or .crit.config.json per-project. Project config takes precedence over global. Useful for setting ignore patterns, author name, and port.

{
  "port": 0,
  "no_open": false,
  "share_url": "https://crit.live",
  "quiet": false,
  "output": "",
  "author": "John",
  "ignore_patterns": [".crit.json"]
}

Scaffold a starter config with:

crit config --generate > ~/.crit.config.json

GitHub PR sync

This requires GitHub CLI to be installed.

Pull GitHub PR review comments down into your local .crit.json, review them in crit.

crit pull      # auto-detect PR from current branch
crit pull 123  # fetch PR #123 comments into .crit.json

Review a PR locally, add comments with crit and push them to the remote.

crit push             # post .crit.json comments to detected PR
crit push 123         # post to a specific PR
crit push --dry-run   # preview what would be posted

Programmatic comments

Your agents can leave comments directly into .crit.json without opening crit. Target a single line or a range:

crit comment main.go:42 "This will panic when input is nil"
crit comment auth.go:10-25 "Missing error handling for expired tokens" --author mybot

Comments written this way sync live to any running crit session via SSE.

You can find a new command, crit-comment to teach your agents how to do this in the integrations directory.

v0.6.0

What’s Changed

Conversations on review comments

Review-level and inline comments now support replies. The LiveView already had a generic add_reply handler — this release wires up the UI for review-level cards (which were missing it), surfaces an Edit button on the right side, and lets the review owner resolve any thread (not just their own). The keyboard flow also matches the CLI: text selection no longer auto-opens the editor — press c to start a comment.

Optional Sentry error monitoring

Hosted crit-web now ships exception monitoring when SENTRY_DSN is set. Privacy hardening throughout: request bodies, cookies, comment text, and DOM/console breadcrumbs are scrubbed before events leave. Uses Req (existing dep) instead of pulling in Hackney. Privacy policy was updated to disclose this on the hosted deployment.

Share-page hardening

The public /r/:token page now sets Referrer-Policy: no-referrer so destination URLs don’t leak the share token, and the global rate limiter applies to the share endpoint specifically.

v0.5.0

What’s Changed

This release is a major UX refresh across crit-web. The dashboard, marketing header, and review meta header have been redesigned around a cohesive identity system, and the entire app now runs on the crit design system with WCAG AA contrast.

Dashboard & marketing redesign

The dashboard now leads with a guided onboarding empty state, file snippet previews on every review, and an identity popover with a self-hosted indicator. The marketing header has been rebuilt to match the dashboard chrome, and mobile review listings are finally first-class.

Review experience

The review page gets a meta header with author and owner-delete, a redesigned comments panel with segmented filter and collapsible groups, and a hide-resolved toggle for inline comments. Word-diff is now powered by @sanity/diff-match-patch for better accuracy, and orphaned files render in parity with crit local.

What’s Changed

This release brings GitHub OAuth login to crit-web, completing the authentication story for hosted users. Alongside that, the two-way review workflow gets its web-side half — crit fetch now syncs rounds and comments back from the web, with a round diff UI to see what changed. Mobile gets a significant overhaul too: a proper dashboard header with hamburger menu, a tokens page, and a round of polish across the review UI.

GitHub OAuth login

Users can now sign in with their GitHub account via OAuth — no manual token setup required. The privacy policy and terms of service have been updated to cover what data is stored and how it’s used.

Two-way review workflow

The share sync feature now upserts rounds, shows a round diff UI, and propagates comments — giving you a full picture of what changed between shares. Pair this with the new crit fetch command to pull web comments back into your local session.
