meat

Abridge a code diff into a reading diff.

Humans need to review agent-written code in critical systems. But models are good now. You don't need to review for style or nil-checks or imports. You need to review concepts, algorithm choices, architecture.

So meat uses a model to reduce a diff to the important parts. It shows you the meat.

Install with:

go install meat.dev/cmd/meat@latest

Run with meat to review the latest commit. It takes git-looking parameters to pick commits to review.

It takes a while to process a commit for reading. So I suggest you have an agent build meat into your devtools so that it pre-processes it.

Very large diffs are split at file and hunk boundaries and abridged chunk by chunk (up to a few MB), so one huge commit still produces a single merged reading diff — it just takes proportionally longer.
