AI Analysis

●●●BangerBig BrainNiche Gem

LSP for diffs inside Markdown solves a specific AI-review pain point no one else targets.

Strengths

•Treating diffs as a language for LSP navigation is a genuinely novel architectural approach.
•Jump-to-definition from diff lines to workspace files solves a real context-switching friction.
•Diagnostics for malformed diffs prevent errors in AI-generated change proposals.

Weaknesses

•Experimental status and Radicle-only hosting may limit immediate adoption by teams.
•Niche utility depends entirely on the workflow of reviewing diffs inside prose documents.

Post Description

Increasingly I've been needing to review changes inside text editor, typically as a part of editing a prompt in code harness, though sometimes for other purposes (editing md documents, PRs, etc.).

Manipulating diffs, quoting text, removing hunks, jumping to definition to verify was clumsy and cumbersome, and it occurred to me that most of it could be done very well as a language server protocol component, and wouldn't even require knowledge or special support for the language being under review.

So I've built it, and I've been slowly tweaking and improving for few days now.
