A developer released ai-commit, a local CLI that turns staged Git diffs into AI-generated commit message suggestions.
The tool supports OpenAI-compatible providers like OpenAI and DeepSeek and formats output to match Conventional Commits.
Developers review and approve the suggested message before it is committed, keeping control in the loop.
The author also introduced ai-context, which creates a concise project overview for AI coding assistants.
