LOCAL-FIRST CODE REVIEW

A persistent review surface for AI‑generated code.

MergeWard sits between generation and push, giving you a structured way to critique, iterate, and resolve changes — before your code ever leaves your machine.


AI writes code fast.
Reviewing it is the bottleneck.

Today's loop looks like this:

  1. 1 Ask Claude to implement something.
  2. 2 Skim a diff in the terminal.
  3. 3 Push to GitHub.
  4. 4 Leave comments.
  5. 5 Copy feedback back into chat.
  6. 6 Regenerate.
  7. 7 Repeat.

That loop is slow, lossy, and stateless.

MergeWard compresses it into seconds.


MergeWard is

  • A local, structured diff viewer.
  • A persistent comment system anchored to hunks.
  • An agent-aware resolution loop.
  • A curated walkthrough of AI-generated changes.
  • A deterministic patch application engine.

MergeWard is not

  • An editor.
  • An IDE.
  • A GitHub replacement.
  • A chat interface.
  • A CI system.

It's the review layer AI-native workflows have been missing.


Core Capabilities

Persistent Code Reviews

A CR document is a local, structured artifact that anchors comments to exact hunks, persists feedback outside of chat, tracks resolution state, and becomes the single source of truth for iteration.

This makes AI review structured and machine-resolvable.

Agentic Resolution

Leave a comment on a hunk. Run /address. MergeWard packages the relevant diff context, the structured comment, the surrounding code, and the review state — then applies changes deterministically.

No copy/paste. No new sessions. No broken context.

Curated Walkthroughs

AI-generated changes often lack narrative. Run /walkthrough to generate a step-by-step tour: what changed, why it changed, what was refactored, what stayed the same.

Instead of scrolling through raw diffs, you review intent.

What Makes This Different

Local-First

All review happens before pushing to a remote. You iterate in seconds, not minutes.

Stateful AI Collaboration

MergeWard does not treat AI as a stateless assistant. It maintains continuity across review iterations. You steer the same agent that produced the code.

Structured > Chat

Chat comments disappear. CR comments persist. They are anchored, resolvable, replayable, and deterministic.

Built for AI-Native Development

Traditional diff tools assume humans wrote the code. MergeWard assumes the code was generated, you are steering it, and you need validation, iteration, and structure.


How It Works

1

Review

Open a CR. See structured diffs with comments anchored to hunks.

2

Comment

Leave feedback on specific changes. Comments persist across iterations.

3

Resolve

Run /address. Your AI agent receives structured context and applies fixes deterministically.


Who This Is For

Engineers using Claude, Cursor, or AI coding tools daily.

Teams reviewing AI-generated changes.

Developers who want tighter feedback loops.

Anyone tired of pushing just to review.

AI changes how code is written.
It does not eliminate review.

GitHub is for human collaboration.

MergeWard is for human–AI collaboration.
