How to review and revert agent edits from shadow history with Flare

Compare what an agent changed in a file or tree and revert the parts you reject.

Who it is forA developer who has just let an agent edit several files and wants to verify each change before keeping it.

The problemAgent edits land across many files at once, and it is hard to see exactly what changed or undo part of it.

The outcomeYou see each change burst against the earlier state and revert one file or the whole tree when a change is wrong.

What you need first

  • Flare, either as the desktop app or served to a browser from the machine the agent runs on
  • A terminal agent such as claude, codex or opencode, run inside Flare's terminal
  • A local project repo for the agent to work on

Steps

  1. Keep Flare open on the repo while the agent runs in Flare's terminal so the graph updates as files change.
  2. Watch the Activity lens to see which files changed most recently.
  3. Select a changed file and open its shadow history to diff it against an earlier snapshot.
  4. Revert that file, or the whole tree, to the snapshot you want to keep.

Prompt for your agent

In the project <project>, open the shadow history for <file path> in Flare and compare the latest snapshot with the one before it. Expected output: a short plain-language list of what changed in that file. Verify the list matches the task card the agent was given before you keep the change.

Caveat. The README says snapshots are kept in a local shadow history, so reverts only cover what Flare captured during the session and are not described as a replacement for version control.
