Show HN: Codebrief – Make sense of AI-generated code changes

[mo-dulaimi]

I've been using Claude Code for a few months, and while it's amazing at writing code, reviewing the changes became a bottleneck.

The diff is just files in alphabetical order. No context. No explanation of intent.

So I built Codebrief, a VS Code extension that:

1. Captures your git diff + session context 2. Groups changes by intent (not by filename) 3. Explains the "why" behind each group

It works with Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex.

Would love feedback from anyone else dealing with this problem.

Claude is great tool for vibe coding. I used it and like it especially for opus 4.5 or later.

Yep agreed it is a great tool overall, recommend you also give Codex a shot if you didn't.
