Git-Native Code Review Protocol

LiveReview adds a new git subcommand: git lrc review. Review before every commit, explicitly skip when needed, and maintain an auditable trail in your git history.

# Typical Git Guardrails Flow
git add .
git lrc review

# Or skip explicitly (auditable in git log):
git lrc review --skip
git commit -m "message"

CLI Benefits:

Review becomes part of git workflow, not an afterthought
Runs directly in your repo on uncommitted code
Skips are explicit and tracked in commit history
Human oversight for AI-generated code

Quick Install

Linux/macOS:

curl -fsSL https://hexmos.com/lrc-install.sh | bash

Windows (PowerShell):

iwr -useb https://hexmos.com/lrc-install.ps1 | iex
