Who it is forA developer who lets an agent edit code and wants to review the changes before accepting them, without copying notes into a separate chat.
The problemFeedback on agent changes usually lives in a separate chat or an external review tool, so the agent often misses the exact lines you flagged.
The outcomeYou review diffs inside the canvas, attach line-by-line comments, and send them to the agent in the same session.
What you need first
- macOS, Windows, or Linux machine
- Installed coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, if you want to launch it from ACRYL
- Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0 and Corepack, only for running from source
Steps
- Open the project in ACRYL and let an agent session make changes in a git worktree.
- Open the diff for the changed files in a canvas tab.
- Add review comments on the specific lines that need work.
- Send the comments back to the agent from the diff view.
- Check the updated diff and repeat until the changes are accepted.
Prompt for your agent
Using the acryl repo at github.com/acryldev/acryl, open the diff for the worktree at <worktree-path> in ACRYL, add a review comment on one changed line, and send it to the agent. Report the line number and the agent's reply, and verify the comment appears in the session.
Caveat. The README describes the diff review feature in general terms only, so confirm the exact send-back behavior in the documentation for your release.
