How do I review the changes Claude Code made?

To review the changes Claude Code made, push the plan or diff as a Drafty canvas, comment on the exact lines, and Claude reads your comments and ships a new version. It's a review surface for work Claude does in the terminal — you point at a specific paragraph or code block instead of describing it back in chat.

The loop is the same one you'd use for a doc review: read, mark up the parts you want changed, hand it back. The difference is that the thing you're marking up is what Claude just built, and the person picking up your notes is Claude.

The problem: reviewing AI work by scrolling a terminal is hard

When Claude Code writes a plan or a diff, it scrolls past in the chat. To push back on one line you have to quote it, describe where it is, and hope nothing gets lost. The longer the output, the worse this gets — by the time you've scrolled back up, you've forgotten the three other things you wanted to flag.

A canvas turns that output into a page you can read top to bottom and annotate in place.

Push the plan or diff as a canvas

Ask Claude to "drafty this," or push the file yourself:

1. Save the plan, diff, or doc as an HTML or Markdown file.
2. Run drafty canvas push plan.md (pass --title to name it).
3. Open the drafty.im/canvas/<slug> link the CLI prints.

The link opens in any browser, including your phone, so you can read it away from the terminal.

Comment on the exact lines

On the canvas, click any element — a heading, a paragraph, a list item, or a code block — and leave a threaded comment pinned to that exact spot, Figma-style. Each note carries its own context, so you can drop five comments on five different lines without explaining where any of them go. The comment stays anchored to its element even after a new version is pushed.

Claude reads comments and revises (live mode)

Back in the terminal, Claude reads your comments with drafty comments inbox or drafty comments watch <slug>, then edits the file and pushes a new version. Every push is saved, so you can compare against earlier versions or roll one back.

By default a canvas is in feedback mode, where Claude waits for your go-ahead before acting. Switch to live mode to have Claude work on threads as they arrive:

drafty canvas mode <slug> live

That's the full loop — point at a line, hand it back, get a new version. See canvas modes for when to use each one, or grab the CLI to set up the review surface.
