A portable, efficeint tool for reviewing code
redquill is the human checkpoint between agent output and commit. Every hunk in the working tree gets one of two verdicts:
- Keep it → stage it (file, hunk, or line granularity)
- Fix it → annotate it, and batch the annotations back to the agent as its next prompt
What makes this tool unique is code intelligence during review: a limited language-server client so that go-to-definition, find-references, and hover docs are one keystroke away from any symbol in the diff — because the most common problem when reviewing code: not understanding how the changes impact other areas in the codebase.
