About the project

A local Rust CLI for semantic diff review: parses both code versions with tree-sitter, separates mechanical noise from real changes, and surfaces hidden issues like stale calls. Aimed at reviewing changes made by coding agents.

Useful for

Check a pull request for calls not updated after a signature change
Filter out reformatting and renames to see only real logic changes
Show which agent edits match prompts from a Claude Code or Codex session

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
