Nogic - Comprehend AI Diffs

v0.2.5

2026-05-22most recent

Added

Diagrams match the shape of your question — traces, architectures, lifecycles, and data flows each pick the right visualization automatically.

Improved

Cleaner, less crowded diagrams.
Walkthroughs follow a single coherent story instead of jumping around.
Auto-recovers when the AI provider is temporarily overloaded.
Walkthrough keyboard shortcuts (← → / Space / ⌘K) are visible on screen.

Fixed

Sequence diagram labels no longer overlap.
The active arrow now lights up during sequence walkthroughs.
Documentation-only changes in Diff Analyze get proper titles.
Group titles and summaries appear immediately in Diff Analyze instead of after reopening.

v0.2.4

2026-05-21

Added

High-detail chapter tours — Multi-agent + High detail now decomposes broad questions into clickable chapter tours, with two sub-agents prefetching ahead.

Improved

Walkthroughs start in seconds — narrative streams as it's generated.
Cleaner diagrams — empty arrows and placeholder labels like "Service" / "Manager" are no longer accepted.
Decision nodes are now diamonds.
Detail setting (Low/Medium/High) now applies to every sub-agent in Multi-agent mode.

v0.2.3

2026-05-18

Added

Multi-agent diagrams — Cmd+K now plans your answer, dispatches agents in parallel, and stitches the result into one canvas. Richer, more comprehensive diagrams without the wait. Toggle off with the Multi-agent checkbox in the Cmd+K bubble for quick single-agent answers.

Improved

Smoother diagram-build animation — no more jittery zooming as nodes appear.
Walkthroughs open with an overview instead of starting at random internal details.
Wider zoom range on Cmd+K canvases.

Fixed

AI diagram no longer lingers when switching between boards or to Diff Analyze.
Cursor stops spinning as soon as the diagram is ready.
Model picker no longer shows the wrong model name when Codex is active.

v0.2.2

2026-05-13

Improved

Improved diagram generation.

Fixed

Diff Analyze titles and summaries now appear without reopening the panel.

v0.2.1

2026-05-09

Fixed

"Connect AI CLIs" setup modal now appears reliably after sign-in. Previously it could stay hidden until you ran Nogic: Show MCP Setup manually.

v0.2.0

2026-05-09

This release adds Nogic agent, AI-generated diagrams of your uncommitted changes, sign-in, and a lot of polish.

Added

Nogic Agent (Cmd/Ctrl+K) — Ask anything about your code in plain English. The cursor renders a diagram and walkthrought it, tailored to the answer. Follow-up questions extend the same diagram instead of starting over. Press Esc to clear.
Diff Analyze — Review your uncommitted changes as AI-generated diagrams grouped by intent. Each group gets a title, summary, custom visualization, and step-by-step narration explaining why the change is shaped that way — not just what changed. Refresh any group on demand.
Current Diff Board — A live board that mirrors your working-tree changes in real time. Updates on save, branch switch, and stage. Open via Nogic: Open Diff Board.
Sign in with Nogic — Optional account via Google, GitHub, or magic link. The static code graph works fully signed-out; AI features (Cmd+K, Diff Analyze, walkthroughs) require an account. Works in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, and other forks.
Saved walkthroughs — Author once, revisit anytime. Stored per workspace.

Local-first AI

Cmd+K and Diff Analyze run on your installed Claude Code or Codex CLI, under your existing AI subscription (Claude Pro/Max, Codex Plus/Pro, or pay-as-you-go API). Your code, prompts, and AI responses never touch a Nogic server. The first-run setup walks you through enabling either CLI.

Improved

Code graph UX & visual style — revamped the canvas look-and-feel end to end: refreshed colors, typography, and iconography, plus refined node/edge spacing, layout balance, and zoom behavior for a cleaner, more readable graph.

Removed

Old "Files / Class / Calls" tabs — the unified view replaces them.
Nogic: Logout is renamed to Nogic: Sign Out (old name still works).

Privacy

Anonymous, opt-out telemetry — no code, prompts, file paths, AI responses, or personal data is collected. Disable via nogic.telemetry.enabled or VS Code's global telemetry switch. Full disclosure: nogic.dev/telemetry.

2026-02-18

Added
