Go CLI runs local-first LLM code reviews on git diffs
CommitBrief is a local-first CLI tool that reviews staged git diffs using LLMs like Claude, GPT, or local Ollama models. It runs a 14-stage pipeline including secret scanning, caching, and cost preflight to keep reviews cheap and safe. The tool is open-source under GPL-3.0 and never sends code to a hosted service unless the user chooses a remote provider.
Meridian48 take
The 14-stage pipeline is over-engineered for a CLI tool, but the local-first design and secret scanning address real developer concerns about sending code to third-party APIs.
