Differential is a terminal-based diff reviewer that uses semantic grouping, shape-class echo filtering, and symbol dependency ordering to make large AI-generated diffs easier to read. It combines AST-based dependency analysis with LLM-assisted grouping to prioritize foundational changes and collapse repetitive edits, offering a novel approach to the code review bottleneck.

Target audience: backend devs, software engineers, code reviewers, devops
