Concepts

How Diffgazer works locally and what leaves your machine when a provider review runs.

Read this section before the mode guides: it explains how a review actually runs, where your code and keys live, and what is sent to your chosen model provider when a review starts.

In this section

  • How it works — the single global binary, the local server it starts, and the two ways you read a review.
  • The review pipeline — what happens between your working changes going in and structured issues coming back inline.
  • Providers and models — why Diffgazer is provider-agnostic and how bring-your-own-model and keys fit in.
  • Privacy — what stays on your machine, what leaves it, and why there is no dashboard to upload to.
