📝 README repositioning as additive fork (no public page) 2 commits 21d ago not yet rewritten
jamietso/mike-redline
A redline-aware fork of Mike that keeps tracked changes and reviewer comments visible to the LLM instead of flattening them away.
mike-redline is jamietso's take on Mike for people who actually work with marked-up documents - lawyers, contract reviewers, and anyone whose source material arrives covered in tracked changes and margin comments. Where upstream Mike quietly accepts edits before handing documents to the model, this fork preserves the redlines as inline signal the LLM can reason about.
jamietso positions the fork as additive rather than a replacement. The README leads with appreciation for upstream willchen96/mike and frames the accepted-view default as sensible for most users - this fork just serves a narrower audience that needs to see who proposed what.
The direction is focused: make Mike useful for documents where the edit history is the content. If that's your workflow, the GitHub repo is worth a click.
What's in it
- Tracked changes preserved for the LLM DOCX and PDF documents reach the model with insertions, deletions, moves, and reviewer comments still visible as inline markers - not silently accepted away.
- Redline-aware prompting The system prompts are tuned to understand and reason about the marked-up format, so the model can discuss what changed and who suggested it.
- Additive positioning relative to upstream Presented as a complement to vanilla Mike rather than a competitor - the accepted-view default still makes sense for most readers; this fork serves a specific need.
