This is how some folks on my team work. Ran into this when I saved a file manually and the editor ran formatting on it. Turns out that the dev that wrote it only codes via CLI though reviews the files in an IDE so he never manually saved it and ran the formatter.

allow me to introduce you to the lord and savior, https://pre-commit.com/

and if your pre-commit runs fast (thank you, ruff), you can set this up as a post-edit hook in claude code

I used it extensively for a week and gave it an honest chance. It’s really good for quickly troubleshooting small bugs. It doesn’t come anywhere close to Opus 4.5 though.

Apples and oranges comparison. I don’t think it’s the same and good for you for waiting on Opus to respond. I don’t have the energy.

Sir Opus is the fast one of the bunch. Try GPT 5.2 high.

It is really good at grep and will make multiple grep calls in parallel. And when I open it in the parent directory of a bunch of repos in our codebase, it can very quickly trace data flow through a bunch of different services. It will tell me all the files the data goes through. It's context window is "only" 200k tokens. When it gets near 200k, it compresses the conversation and starts a new conversation..... which…

> It is really good at grep and will make multiple grep calls in parallel. How does that work? Multiple agents grepping simultaneously?

Probably something closer to ripgrep, if not actually ripgrep.

Hi all! Graphite cofounder Greg here - happy to help answer questions. To preempt one: I’ve been asked a few times so far why we decided to join. Personally, I work on Graphite for two reasons. 1) I love working with kind, smart, intense teammates. I want to be surrounded by folks who I look up to and who energize me. 2) I want to build bleeding-edge dev tools that move the whole industry forward. I have so much resp…

As someone who loves all the non-AI portions of Graphite (the CLI and the reviewer UI) should I be worried about this acquisition? Or will the CLI and Reviewer Ui continue to be be maintained and improved?

Maintained, improved, and integrated.

With more resources than ever. We're building whole platform. That's a lot more than just AI.

Do you have confidence they can execute?

This was "announced" in October, and last week they were saying they're shipping to trusted partners to kick the tires before a real release, with posted screenshots. So, we'll see what it ends up like, but they have apparently already executed.

Wow! Didn’t realize.

GitHub have proven the ability to execute very well when they _want_ to. Their product people are top notch. Given the VP of GitHub recently posted a screenshot of their new stacked diff concept on X, I'd be amazed if Graphite folks (whos product is adding this function) didn't get wind of it and look for a quick sell.

This seems very very implausible to me as an explanation of what prompted them to get acquired. They wanted to get rich and stop having to fundraise!
