Review my changes is the primary Iris Code workflow, and it is free. Before your changes reach a teammate - or a pull request - Iris Code checks every supported staged, unstaged, and untracked Git file and shows you exactly what a reviewer would flag: blockers first, then warnings, with every finding one click from its source line.

​
Running a review

When Git reports local changes, Iris Code shows a Git-changed files detected strip above the sidebar tabs - the count only includes files the review will actually analyse (JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, and Python). Select the strip, or run Iris Code: Review My Changes from the Command Palette. The review opens in a dedicated editor tab with:
  • a readiness summary (“Your changes are ready for review” / “need attention”) with blockers first
  • severity filters and search across every finding
  • per-file health for each changed file
  • click-to-open on every finding, straight to the affected line
The sidebar’s Workspace tab switches to a Change Review view for the same result, and the Issues and TODOs tabs show the review’s evidence - on Free.

​
Scoped honestly

A partial scan must not pretend to be a full one:
  • A change review never creates a workspace trend snapshot.
  • It never reports unused dependencies - that conclusion requires scanning the whole project.
  • Untracked files are included only when .gitignore does not exclude them.
  • A workspace opened inside a larger repository (a monorepo package, for example) reviews only the workspace’s own changes - never sibling changes elsewhere in the repo.
Full workspace analysis, folder scans, automated iris check --staged / --changed in CI, and hook enforcement remain Pro.

​
Works where real repos live

No git repository? The strip stays hidden and the command explains. Git not installed? Iris Code says exactly that. Brand-new repo with no commits yet? Staged and untracked files are still reviewed. Repositories with enormous untracked folders, paths with spaces or unicode, and merge-in-progress states are all handled deliberately.
