Code Review

Verne’s review workflow turns the comments you write in the diff viewer into a task for an agent.

Adding comments

In the diff viewer, select a line or a range of lines. Write your note in the box that appears and confirm it. Repeat across as many files and lines as you need. Comments are held locally until you request changes.

The Review Bar

The Review Bar appears at the top of the Source Control or Commits view once you have comments. It shows the total comment count and which files are affected. Use the navigator in the bar to jump between comments.

Requesting changes

Click Request Changes in the Review Bar. Verne:

  1. Opens a review terminal tab, or reuses an existing one if it’s already open.
  2. Launches your configured Review Agent in that tab.
  3. Delivers a formatted prompt for each comment: the file path, line range, the code snippet, and your comment text.

After delivery, the comments clear from the Review Bar. If delivery fails, the comments are kept so you can retry.

Configuring the Review Agent

The Review Agent is the agent Verne targets when you click Request Changes. Set it in Settings › Agents › Review Agent. Any agent you’ve configured in Verne can be designated as the review target.

See Hooks & MCP setup for how Verne integrates with agents more broadly.
