Hello HN, I wrote a blog post a while back about not sending me your giant PRs (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49305558). Well, I kept getting huge PRs sent to me, so I've been embraced the AI and let it sweep me away.Chronosphere rebuilds a PR in logical steps to try to recreate the train of thought that went into the generation of the PR itself. It has github and openrouter integrations for convenience, but can also be used entirely from your current coding agent via a skill integration, no code is uploaded to a central server.Hopefully this helps you all and your battles to understand mass amounts of AI generated code.
