Due to the open nature of Bluesky's ATP (at-protocol), it is possible to create an interesting analytics tool for any user for free.

So, I built one.

Writing Commit Messages using AI from CLI (no API key)

Disclaimer

Commit messages are important pieces of information, and serve as logical checkpoints for your work. I believe in writing informative commit messages that capture both the nuance and scope of the changes. The tool is an experiment to evaluate if AI-generated commit messages can fit in the workflow, if they can make it easier to write better commits.

The tool

I built an open-source CLI tool in Rust.
Check it out: https://github.com/jnsahaj/lumen.

Features

Generate commit message for staged changes
Generate summary for changes in a git commit by providing its SHA-1
Generate summary for changes in git diff (staged/unstaged)
Fuzzy-search for the commit to generate a summary
Free and unlimited - no API key required to work out of the box
Pretty output formatting enabled by Markdown
Supports multiple AI providers

Here's a demo that fuzzy-finds a git commit, and then generates a summary for it

AI is bad at nuance

The LLM is good at capturing the "what" of the change, but it may not understand the "why" of the change. To help the AI, I added a --context flag

lumen draft
# Output: "chore(logs): Rotate log files daily"

lumen draft --context "reduce disk usage"
# Output: "chore(logging): Implement daily log file rotation to optimize storage"

This allows for writing "lazy" commits that only capture the "why" of the change, leaving the "what" of the change to the AI

Conclusion

While I am apprehensive about writing commits using AI, and this tool might not be the most refined version of it, but I do believe it is a step in the right direction
