Local-first code review. Agent workbench in 0.6.

Your agents write the code. You hold the deck.

Review local branch diffs like a pull request, without opening one. Patchdeck 0.5 ships that desk today. The agent workbench arrives in 0.6.

Features

Find the change before the change finds you.

Review

PR-style review, locally

The commits unique to a branch, a collapsible file tree with statuses and line counts, and syntax highlighting that matches the rest of the window.

Compare

Your branches, compared honestly

Merge-base semantics, base...branch, across your local branches. Patchdeck suggests main or master when it can.

Track

A comment survives the rebase

Review comments anchor to a content fingerprint, so they stay with the code through line drift and rebases.

Viewed

Never review the same diff by accident

Viewed-file state is scoped to the exact repo, merge base, and compare commit, so a force-push never lies to you.

Keyboard

Review without reaching for the mouse

Use j and k for the next and previous file. Press v to mark the current file viewed.

Workspace

Every repo in one window

Open a workspace folder and Patchdeck finds every repo in its immediate subfolders. Tabs, comparisons, and selection survive a relaunch.

Agents

An agent board beside the code

Shipping in 0.6

Coming in 0.6: run Codex and Claude Code beside a diff with a read-only or workspace-write policy.

Editor

A guarded editor

Shipping in 0.6

Edit checked-out files while an agent session is attached. Path containment, symlink-escape checks, optimistic concurrency, and atomic saves keep that narrow.

Safety

Read-only by default

A review tool that could accidentally push would not be a review tool. Patchdeck’s Rust core reads your repositories without changing their state.

The only write is a file you explicitly edit.

Git inspection is read-only: direct invocation, no shell, allowlisted read operations only
Agent sessions attach over loopback only, and the session credential never reaches the UI
No commit, push, pull request, or publication ever happens automatically
