Mistle can audit your changes before you commit or when you’re comparing branches. Reviews run in chat, so you get a structured summary, risks, and follow-up suggestions without leaving the Git panel.

​
Run a Review from the Working Tree

  1. Open the Git panel and make sure you see the Changes view.
  2. Select the files you want feedback on. Mistle includes every selected file in the diff.
  3. Click Review. The app creates a new chat named Code Review and streams the analysis there.
The assistant reads the diff, calls out bugs or risky patterns, and links directly to the lines it references. You can ask follow-up questions in that chat or send the diff back to the main thread for additional work.

​
Review a Branch Before You Share It

  1. Switch to Compare with default branch from the branch actions menu.
  2. Wait for the compare list to load, then click Review.
  3. Mistle generates a three-dot diff (your-branch…default) and walks through what changed across the entire branch.
This view is ideal when you’re preparing a pull request or want a second opinion before merging.

Tips for Helpful Reviews

  • Keep related changes in the same review. If you’re working on multiple features, review them separately so the assistant can focus.
  • Rerun the review whenever you address feedback; the chat keeps the full history for easy comparison.
  • Share the review chat with teammates so they can skim the highlights before reading the raw diff.
