Quick brief

Use DiffX when an agent or developer has already produced code changes and the next step is a bounded human review loop before accepting or refining them. The upstream project is explicit about this job: run `diffx` in a git repository, inspect the local diff in a PR-like web UI, leave inline comments, then copy or fetch structured review comments for the coding agent to address.

How it works

What this skill actually does

Invoke this instead of using the product normally when you need a local, review-first checkpoint for AI-generated changes without opening a hosted pull request. This is especially useful for working-tree diffs, staged changes, or branch comparisons that are not ready for remote review yet.

The scope boundary is specific and keeps it skill-shaped: DiffX is not being listed as a generic code review product or UI toolkit. The skill is the review loop itself, start local diff review, capture line-level comments, return them to the agent, and resolve the requested fixes.
