GitHub project meat uses a model to turn code diffs into reviewable summaries
The project meat is described as a way to "abridge a code diff into a reading diff." Its premise is that humans no longer need to review every style issue, nil check, or import when working with agent-written code; instead, they should focus on concepts, algorithm choices, and architecture.
What it does
- Uses a model to reduce a diff to the important parts
- Presents the "meat" of the change rather than raw noise
- Takes git-like arguments to choose commits to review
- Can be run against the latest commit
How it is positioned
- Built for reviewing agent-generated code in critical systems
- Suggested as something an agent should build into devtools
- Installation: go install meat.dev/cmd/meat@latest
It is essentially a developer tool for model-assisted code review in an agent-heavy workflow.
