history
Project history and usage
crit is a local review-loop tool for AI-assisted development. It packages a browser review interface and a single CLI binary so users can review plans, diffs, and local web previews, then send comments back to coding agents.
Project history
The project appeared publicly in 2026 and its README frames the problem as making agent output reviewable in interfaces suited to the artifact: markdown plans, code diffs, running web apps, and static HTML previews. Its official site describes the same local feedback-loop focus for AI agent code changes.
Adoption history
Official quickstart instructions put Homebrew first and also document Go, Nix, and Windows binary installs. The README lists integrations with multiple AI coding tools, including Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, Qwen, Aider, and others, which positions the package as glue between local review workflows and agent CLIs.
How it is used
Users run crit with no arguments to auto-detect git changes, pass markdown or HTML files for review, or pass a localhost URL for live web review. Configuration is split between global and project .crit.config.json files, with global-only settings for sensitive agent command execution and authentication-related options.
Why package nerds care
crit is notable as an early package-manager-distributed tool aimed specifically at agent-assisted development loops. The packaging story is intentionally simple: one local binary, Homebrew install path, optional Go/Nix/Windows installs, and no requirement that the coding agent itself own the review UI.
Timeline
- 2026: Repository created in February.
- 2026: v0.1.0 release published on February 16.
- 2026: Rapid 0.x releases followed in February as the review-loop workflow evolved.
Related projects
- crit integrates with AI coding agents and editor/CLI assistants rather than replacing them.
- crit-web is the related self-hostable service used when sharing reviews.
