glimpse-changes

A CLI tool that renders Markdown with inline diffs into a native Glimpse window, using a Critique-like theme.

What it does

• Parses Markdown and renders it as a styled HTML page
• Renders fenced diff blocks with @pierre/diffs (split layout by default)
• Executes inline command diffs (!`git diff ...`) at render time so diffs always reflect the current working tree
• Opens the result in a native Glimpse window via the glimpseui package

Installation

npx skills add tanishqkancharla/glimpse-changes

Usage

# Inline Markdown argument
bun scripts/render-md.ts "# My Report\n\nSome content"

# Pipe from a file
cat /tmp/session-diff-report.md | bun scripts/render-md.ts

Inline command diffs

In your Markdown, use the !`<command>` syntax to execute a shell command and render its output as a diff block:

## Changes to auth module

!`git diff -- src/auth.ts`

Fenced diff blocks

Fenced code blocks with language diff (or any block whose lines match unified diff patterns) are also rendered with @pierre/diffs:

```diff
- old line
+ new line
```
