Stage CLI: Local AI-Generated Changes Reviewed as Logical Chapters
Stage CLI, the open-source local companion to the Stage code review tool, lets you review your local git changes as logical chapters — breaking down the diff into reviewable steps before you ever open a PR. It works with any AI coding agent (Claude, Codex, etc.) by instructing the agent to read your current branch's changes, split them into chapters, and open them in a local browser.
Install & Setup
npm install -g stagereview npx skills add ReviewStage/stage-cli
Then, inside your AI agent, run:
/stage-chapters
This will organize your local changes into chapters and open a browser UI for review. Everything runs on your machine.
How It Works
The CLI includes agent skill instructions (see .agents/, .claude/, .codex/ directories in the repo) that tell your agent to chunk the diff into logically separate changes. The chapters appear in a local web UI, making it easier to follow the intent of each change compared to the tree-order diff presented by most IDEs and CLI tools.
Who It's For
Developers who use AI coding agents to generate large diffs and want a structured, chapter-by-chapter review experience locally before creating a pull request.
