features

why review in the terminal at all

[01]

›GitHub-style diff

Every changed file in one continuous scroll.

jkCtrl-d{}[]

[02]

›Vim, all the way down

Modal navigation, visual selection, gG jumps, search with /, jump to line N with {N}G. If your fingers know vim, they already know tuicr.

[03]

›PR-style comments

Comment at the line, range, file, or review level. Select multi-line ranges with v / V. Untyped by default; define your own comment types (issue, nit, question …) to classify them.

cCvV;cTab

[04]

›Three export targets

Pull a live PR with tuicr pr 125 on any of four forges, then push your review back with :submit, copy structured markdown to your clipboard (y), or pipe to stdout for any downstream tool.

tuicr prtuicr mr:submity--stdout

[05]

›Git, jj & Mercurial

Single static binary, no runtime. Auto-detects the VCS: jj first (jj repos are Git-backed underneath), then git, then hg.

gitjjhg

[06]

›Agent skill bundle

Ship the /tuicr skill to Claude Code or Codex. The agent opens tuicr in a tmux split; you review, and comments flow back automatically.

→Remote Forge

team workflow

:submit allows you to upload your review to your forge of choice, including approving or requesting changes to pull requests.

⌘:submit

→Clipboard

agent loop

y or :clip copies a structured markdown block. Each comment is numbered and anchored to a file:line. Paste it back to Claude, Codex, Cursor, or any LLM and let it act on the whole batch.

→Stdout

scripting

Run with --stdout to pipe the same markdown to any downstream process. Persist a review to disk, send it to a CI job, pipe it into pbcopy, or chain it into a custom workflow.

$tuicr --stdout > review.md

## Session: auth-svc@main/unstaged/4098e31 I reviewed your code and have the following comments. Please address them. Reviewing unstaged changes ## Local tuicr Comments 1. `src/auth.rs:49` - Silent swallow of expiry context when claims.exp <= now. Surface the timestamp so the error message can include it. 2. `src/auth.rs:102` - Pull TOKEN_TTL_SECS into a config struct so tests can override it without recompiling. Default 3600 is fine for prod; rotation policies will want shorter. 3. `tests/auth_test.rs` - Nice coverage on the expired-token path. Keep the table-driven style.
