I Built a Git Commit Message Generator So I’d Stop Burning Tokens on Commits

Writing good commit messages is tedious and firing up an LLM for every one wastes time and tokens. So I built a fast, offline generator in Claude Design.

I’ll admit something most developers won’t: I’m often too lazy to write a proper commit message.

And when I’m tired at the end of a long session, I just blank on the wording entirely.

So my “solution” became a habit paste the change into ChatGPT, ask it to write the commit, copy it back.

Every single time.

I’m clearly not the only one.

A lot of people out there have the exact same friction.

And yes, AI handles it fine.

But think about what that actually costs: you wait for the model to respond, and you spend tokens, just to label a one-line change.

For something this small and this repetitive, that felt wrong.
