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. ### Sources - - - ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for crit. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL. ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval. ## Configuration files - Unix: ~/.crit.config.json, .crit.config.json, .crit/prompts/*.md ## Credential files - Unix: ~/.crit.config.json ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** crit - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - dnf - crit - 4.2-20.fc45: normalized package name match | Fedora Rawhide package metadata: crit from https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/Everything/x86_64/os/repodata/e5ca8ce900cd68f5419e1c39ae517343100b306336cbaeb70a3c153121d95094-primary.xml.zst | CRIU image tool | http://criu.org/ ## Related links - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [go](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/go/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [cargo-crev](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cargo-crev/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [gerrit-tools](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gerrit-tools/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [git-appraise](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-appraise/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [git-codereview](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-codereview/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [git-gerrit](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-gerrit/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [git-review](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/git-review/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [prr](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/prr/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, code-review, developer-tools. - [rails-mcp-server](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/rails-mcp-server/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: ai-tools, cli, developer-tools. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
