git-lrc is a braking system for AI-generated code that automatically reviews every git commit diff before it lands. It addresses the problem of AI agents silently breaking things by removing logic, relaxing constraints, introducing expensive cloud calls, leaking credentials, or changing behavior without notification.

The tool provides AI-powered inline comments that show exactly what changed and what looks wrong. It offers GitHub-style diff views with color-coded additions and deletions, inline AI comments with severity badges, review summaries, staged file lists, diff summaries, copy issues functionality, issue navigation, and event logs. Key commands include review, vouch, and skip options for different workflow needs.

git-lrc works by hooking into git commit and running an AI review on every diff before it lands. The setup takes about 60 seconds with a one-time machine-wide configuration that applies to every git repository. It uses Google's Gemini API for AI reviews and includes a LiveReview coordination service that's free for unlimited reviews.

The primary benefit is catching issues before code ships, leading to fewer bugs, more robust code, and better team results. It helps build a habit of regular review and provides git log tracking with iteration counts and coverage percentages for transparency.

The tool targets developers using AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, or Copilot. It integrates with git universally across all editors and IDEs, and the source code is available on GitHub for transparency and community contributions.
