How does Atlas understand Qwik's resumability and `$ boundaries`?

Atlas indexes code by AST declarations using tree-sitter, allowing it to understand the structural significance of Qwik's `component$`, `routeLoader$`, and other `$` boundary definitions, rather than just treating them as plain text.

Can Atlas help me ensure eager work is behind a `$` boundary in Qwik?

Yes, you can ask Atlas to move eager work behind a `$` boundary so the Qwik optimizer can lazily chunk it, then review the generated diff to approve the change.

How do I run `vitest` for my Qwik project using Atlas?

You can use Atlas's `bash` tool to execute `pnpm vitest` directly within your terminal, running all your Qwik project's tests before committing.

Does Atlas integrate with `prettier` for Qwik code formatting?

Absolutely. Atlas can run `pnpm prettier --write .` via its `bash` tool, or you can ask Atlas to run `prettier` over touched components after approving a diff.

What if I make a mistake and need to undo changes in my Qwik project?

Atlas offers a session revert feature that restores your files from a snapshot, providing a safe way to roll back unwanted changes in your Qwik codebase without manual intervention.

Can Atlas help me find `console.log` statements in my Qwik components?

Yes, use Atlas's `grep` tool to search for `console.log(` or other debugging patterns across your `src/routes` and component files in your Qwik project.

Does Atlas support `pnpm` as the package manager for Qwik projects?

Yes, Atlas's `bash` tool allows you to execute any `pnpm` commands, such as `pnpm vitest` or `pnpm prettier`, direct within your Qwik development workflow.

How does Atlas ensure my code stays off third-party servers?

Atlas can build its code index with local Ollama embeddings, keeping your Qwik project's code entirely off third-party servers, ensuring privacy and security.

Self-review your working diff before committing in Qwik with Atlas in 2026

Atlas empowers Qwik developers in 2026 to catch their own mistakes in uncommitted diffs by providing terminal-native tools to inspect changes, run `vitest` for tests, apply `prettier` for formatting, and manage dependencies with `pnpm`, all before changes reach a reviewer or CI. This integrated approach ensures your Qwik components, `$ boundaries`, and `routeLoader$` exports are pristine and ready for production.

How do I review my Qwik working diff with Atlas?

In 2026, Atlas helps Qwik developers produce and read their entire working diff, not just the files they recall touching. This ensures you catch any unintended changes across your `src/routes` or component$ definitions, providing a comprehensive view of your modifications.

Atlas integrates directly with your Git repository, allowing you to surface the complete working diff for your Qwik project. Instead of relying on memory, Atlas's `read` tool, combined with `bash`, can display the full `git diff` in your terminal. This is crucial for Qwik, where changes in one file, such as a `useSignal` or `useStore` definition, might have subtle implications across multiple components or `routeLoader$` exports. Atlas ensures you review every line, including those in `vite.config.ts` or `src/routes/**/*.tsx`, preventing overlooked changes from propagating. The terminal-native TUI, rendered with SolidJS through the OpenTUI renderer, presents these diffs clearly, allowing you to scroll through and inspect every modification before it's staged or committed. Atlas reads git branches, status, and diffs, providing a robust foundation for your self-review.

How do I inspect Qwik-specific changes in my diff?

When reviewing a Qwik diff, it's vital to check changes against their surroundings, especially for `$ boundaries` and state management. Atlas helps you scrutinize modifications to `component$`, `useSignal`, `useStore`, and `routeLoader$` exports, ensuring your resumability model remains intact and performant in 2026.

Qwik's resumability model, centered around the `$` boundary, requires careful review of every change. Atlas allows you to read each changed file in full, providing context beyond what a simple line-by-line diff might show. For instance, if you've modified a `component$` definition or adjusted a `useSignal` hook in `src/components/my-component.tsx`, Atlas lets you see the entire file to verify the change aligns with Qwik's lazy loading and serialization principles. You can confirm that eager work is correctly placed behind a `$` boundary, or that a new `routeAction$` with `zod$` validation in `src/routes/api/my-action.ts` is properly structured. Atlas's ability to index code by AST declarations using tree-sitter, rather than blind line windows, means it understands the structure of your Qwik code, helping you focus on critical areas like state management and server functions. You can also ask Atlas to move eager work behind a `$` boundary, then approve the resulting diff.

How do I run Qwik tests and formatting with Atlas?

Before committing your Qwik changes, Atlas enables you to run your project's `vitest` suite and apply `prettier` formatting directly from the terminal. This ensures your code adheres to team standards and passes all 100% of your tests, catching issues early in 2026.

A critical step in self-review is validating your changes with automated checks. Atlas provides `bash` tool access, allowing you to execute your Qwik project's test runner and formatter. For Qwik, this means running `pnpm vitest` to execute your unit and integration tests, ensuring that any modifications to `src/routes` or component logic haven't introduced regressions. After tests pass, you can then run `pnpm prettier --write .` to automatically format all touched components and files, maintaining a consistent codebase. Atlas can even be asked to run `prettier` over the touched components after approving a diff, as part of its documented setup steps. This proactive approach, integrated into your terminal workflow, significantly reduces the chances of introducing formatting inconsistencies or failing tests into your main branch.

How do I grep for debugging leftovers in Qwik projects?

Debugging often leaves behind temporary `console.log` statements or `test.skip` flags. Atlas's `grep` tool helps Qwik developers quickly find and remove these 2026-era debugging artifacts across their `src/routes` and component files before committing.

It's common to introduce temporary debugging code like `console.log()`, `debugger;`, or `test.skip()` during development. These should always be removed before committing. Atlas's `grep` tool is invaluable here. You can instruct Atlas to search your working tree for common debugging patterns. For example, you might run `atlas grep "console.log("` or `atlas grep "test.skip("` to identify and remove these lines from your Qwik components, `routeLoader$` functions, or `src/routes` files. This proactive cleanup prevents unnecessary noise in your production bundles and ensures all tests are actually run in CI, maintaining the integrity and performance of your Qwik application. Atlas searches code with hybrid semantic and keyword retrieval, making these searches highly effective.

How do I safely revert Qwik changes with Atlas session revert?

If you identify a change that should not have been made during your Qwik self-review, Atlas offers a safe session revert mechanism. This feature restores your files from a snapshot, ensuring that no half-written turns are rolled back mid-flight, providing a reliable undo for your 2026 Qwik development.

Sometimes, during a thorough self-review of your Qwik project, you might discover a set of changes that are fundamentally incorrect or no longer desired. Instead of manually undoing edits, Atlas provides a robust session revert flow. This mechanism is backed by snapshots, allowing you to restore your working tree to a previous state. For instance, if you've experimented with a new `useStore` implementation in `src/components/data-store.tsx` that didn't pan out, Atlas can roll back those specific edits. The system asserts that the session is not busy before running a revert, preventing a half-written turn from being rolled back mid-flight and ensuring data integrity. Atlas snapshots file changes as git patches so edits can be diffed and rolled back, offering a powerful safety net, giving Qwik developers the confidence to experiment and refine their code without fear of irreversible mistakes.

Step by step

01Produce the working diff: Use Atlas's `bash` tool to run `git diff` and read the entire uncommitted diff for your Qwik project, including changes to `src/routes` and `vite.config.ts`.
02Read each changed Qwik file in full: Instruct Atlas to `read` each modified file, such as `src/components/my-component.tsx` or `src/routes/index.tsx`, to check changes against their Qwik-specific surroundings like `$ boundaries` and `useSignal` definitions.
03Grep for debugging leftovers: Use Atlas's `grep` tool to search for common debugging artifacts like `console.log(`, `debugger;`, or `test.skip(` across your Qwik codebase.
04Run Qwik tests and formatter: Execute `pnpm vitest` via Atlas's `bash` tool to run all tests, then run `pnpm prettier --check .` to verify formatting consistency in your Qwik project.
