Request code reviews from users on Git commits and uncommitted changes.
- ›Supports reviewing single commits, comparing branches, and inspecting uncommitted changes with flexible command syntax
- ›Returns review comments to stdout when provided; treats server shutdown without comments as no feedback
- ›Requires a Git-managed directory to function
- ›Integrates into development workflows to gather feedback before pushing changes
Difit
Overview
This skill requests a code review from the user using difit.
Before running commands, choose <difit-command> using the following rule:
- If
command -v difitsucceeds, usedifit. - Otherwise, use
npx difit. - If falling back to
npx difitwould require network access in a sandboxed environment without network permission, request escalated permissions and user approval before running it.
If the user leaves review comments, they are printed to stdout when the chosen difit command exits. When review comments are returned, continue work and address them. If the server is shut down without comments, treat it as "no review comments were provided." Restarting it is unnecessary. Manual verification of whether the page launched correctly is also unnecessary.
Commands
- Review uncommitted changes before commit:
<difit-command> . - Review the HEAD commit:
<difit-command> - Review staging area changes:
<difit-command> staged - Review unstaged changes only:
<difit-command> working
Basic Usage:
<difit-command> <target> # View single commit diff. ex: difit 6f4a9b7
<difit-command> <target> [compare-with] # Compare two commits/branches. ex: difit feature main
Optional Startup Comments
If there is something you want to tell the user when difit opens, attach it as startup comments with --comment.
This is useful for review findings, explanations, and any context the user should see directly on the diff.
<difit-command> <target> [compare-with] \
--comment '{"type":"thread","filePath":"src/foobar.ts","position":{"side":"old","line":102},"body":"line 1\nline 2"}' \
--comment '{"type":"thread","filePath":"src/example.ts","position":{"side":"new","line":{"start":36,"end":39}},"body":"Range comment for L36-L39"}'
- Use
type: "thread"for each comment. - Write comment bodies in the language the user is using.
- Use
position.side: "new"for lines that exist on the target side of the diff. - Use
position.side: "old"for lines that exist only on the deleted side. - Use range comments for issues that span multiple lines.
- Never copy secrets, tokens, passwords, API keys, private keys, or other credential-like material from the diff into
--commentbodies or any command-line arguments.
Including Untracked Files
For uncommitted changes, if files not yet added to git should also appear in the diff, add --include-untracked.
<difit-command> . --include-untracked
Constraints
Can only be used inside a Git-managed directory.

difit is among the better-maintained entries we tried; worth keeping pinned for repeat workflows.

Keeps context tight: difit is the kind of skill you can hand to a new teammate without a long onboarding doc.

I recommend difit for anyone iterating fast on agent tooling; clear intent and a small, reviewable surface area.
- ★★★★★Oshnikdeep· May 5, 2024
Useful defaults in difit — fewer surprises than typical one-off scripts, and it plays nicely with `npx skills` flows.
- ★★★★★Dhruvi Jain· Apr 4, 2024
difit has been reliable in day-to-day use. Documentation quality is above average for community skills.
- ★★★★★Rahul Santra· Mar 3, 2024
Solid pick for teams standardizing on skills: difit is focused, and the summary matches what you get after install.

We added difit from the explainx registry; install was straightforward and the SKILL.md answered most questions upfront.

difit fits our agent workflows well — practical, well scoped, and easy to wire into existing repos.
