Critic by Feyn
New· 6Review tool for code written by AI coding agents, where each change comes with its assumptions, decisions and evidence
About Critic by Feyn
AI coding agents can produce changes faster than people can review them, and a diff alone does not say why a change was made. Critic, listed here as Critic by Feyn, tries to put the reasoning back in front of whoever checks the change.
Change write-ups from the agent itself
Critic is added to a coding agent as a plug-in, and from then on the agent documents each change while making it. The account covers what changed, the assumptions made, the decisions taken, the complex parts, and evidence such as screenshots and instructions for running the code. Whoever checks the change reads this account beside the code. Feyn showed the product on 24 September 2026, and the site footer names Chonkie, Inc.
Questioning the original session
The person checking can put questions to a fork of the original agent session, which answers them. That means questioning the very context that produced the change, not a fresh model guessing at it. All of it can also be reached over MCP, and changes pushed to GitHub are mirrored under GitHub's own permissions. The demonstration on the site shows a change page with the branch, the people involved, the agents and a threaded discussion on the diff.
What to ask before adopting it
Review becomes the bottleneck for teams letting agents write a growing share of their code, which is the problem Critic addresses. A team should ask before adopting it where the session of the agent and the code are kept, and who has access to them. No price is published and the terms name no company. The Critic by Feyn name is used because several code-review tools have similar names.

What Critic by Feyn offers
- Change write-ups: the coding agent records what changed, the assumptions it made, the decisions it took and the parts that are complex.
- Evidence: screenshots and instructions for running the change, attached to the write-up.
- Reviewer questions: a reviewer can ask questions, which a fork of the original agent session answers.
- GitHub: changes pushed to GitHub are mirrored with GitHub's own permissions.
- MCP access: everything is also available over MCP.
Clients
It is aimed at groups where agents write a rising share of the code and human review becomes the bottleneck. A diff by itself does not explain why a change exists.
Key facts
- Plug-in: installs into coding agents.
- Footer company: Chonkie, Inc.
- Name: several code-review tools have similar names, which is why it is filed under the full Critic by Feyn name.
