[Feature request] More structure for diffs

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Apr 17, 2025 by kendonB Closed Aug 7, 2025

Each diff would be easier to assess with a brief, plain English explanation, and safer with an associated git commit. Currently codex gives just the diff.

I would go for some logic like:

  • If the changes arising from a prompt will be more than a few lines:
  • First offer the user the plan to sign off on
  • Then offer the user each diff, preceded by a brief explanation of what the diff does with reference to the agreed plan
  • At the end, provide the final summary followed by offering the user a git commit, with the current branch as the default, but one of the menu items being a new branch.
