annotate-git-diff

A standalone pi extension that adds /annotate-git-diff, a native Glimpse window for reviewing git changes and sending structured feedback back to the current editor buffer.

Attribution

This extension was ported from the first-party The Last Harness implementation. It adapts the MIT-licensed @ryan_nookpi/pi-extension-diff-review implementation from the Jonghakseo/pi-extension monorepo and preserves its original inspiration credit to badlogic/pi-diff-review.

Install

pi install npm:@diegopetrucci/pi-annotate-git-diff

Then reload pi:

/reload

Usage

Run /annotate-git-diff inside a git repository. The command opens a native review window with:

• Monaco-based diff viewing,
• branch diff, per-commit including working tree, and all-files scopes,
• inline, file-level, and overall review comments,
• submit-to-editor feedback prompt insertion.

Submitting feedback does not auto-apply code changes. The extension appends a structured prompt to the current editor buffer so you can send that feedback back to the active agent.

Requirements

• Run inside a git repository.
• Local desktop support for opening a native Glimpse window.
• Packaged Monaco and Tailwind assets from this npm package.
• POSIX shell utilities (bash, mktemp, base64, and tr) for some git snapshot/binary-file paths.

Troubleshooting

• Review failed: Not inside a git repository. → change into a git repo and rerun /annotate-git-diff.
• No reviewable files found. → make or fetch reviewable changes, then rerun.
• Review failed: Glimpse host not found ... → the native window runtime is unavailable; reinstall/update the package and rerun from a machine/session that can open native windows.
