Enspirit open-sources Revu, a code review tool that reads by scope
Understand this story
Enspirit has open-sourced Revu, a code review tool released under the MIT license and installable via npm install -g @enspirit/revu. It lets reviewers read code in the browser by scope (a set of files sharing attributes) and annotate line by line, rather than only looking at diffs, and is aimed at agent-generated code. According to Enspirit, Revu runs locally, binds to 127.0.0.1, and sends no data externally; by default it opens at 127.0.0.1:7777, and when no path is given it reads the current directory. The tool contains no AI and never writes to the project under review—annotations are stored outside the project, so reviews can span multiple days without touching the branch.

Enspirit introduces Revu, a free, open-source, MIT-licensed tool (npm install -g @enspirit/revu) that runs locally on 127.0.0.1:7777 and provides a browser-based reading surface for reviewing agent-written code via "scopes" — sets of files sharing a property, configurable in a .revu.yml — rather than a file tree or diff. Remarks anchored to specific lines are tagged must-fix, question, or scope and exported as a single markdown document addressed to whoever writes the next change. The tool contains no AI by design and never writes to the project under review.
