How to review Claude Code's diffs before they ship
A practical workflow for reviewing Claude Code's changes from your phone — reading the real diff, checking the file in context, and pushing only what you've actually seen.
“Claude Code review” is one of those searches that assumes you’ll be staring at a wall of chat text and hoping it’s right. There’s a better loop, and it fits on a phone screen fine.
Read the diff, not the chat
Claude Code will describe what it changed. That description is not the change. The only way to actually review a change is to read the diff— added lines, removed lines, in context — the same way you’d review a teammate’s pull request.
The loop on CodeMote
- Start or check in on Claude Code from a live terminal.
- When it’s done (or pauses for a decision), open the Git view.
- Read the actual diff, hunk by hunk — open the file if you need more context.
- Stage what you approve, leave out what you don’t, commit, and push.
Why this matters more on mobile
On a phone, it’s tempting to skim the summary and tap approve. Having a real diff viewer — not a code block dropped in a chat bubble — is what makes it possible to actually look before you ship, even from the couch.
No editor needed either
This works whether Claude Code is running through the VS Code extension or through the standalone CLI on a server with no editor installed — the Git view and diff reading work the same either way.
