OpenCommit
We built OpenCommit to fix something small that costs teams big: messy, low-signal commit messages. It turns staged diffs into clear, conventional messages using GPT—directly in the developer’s flow—so history reads like a narrative instead of noise.
Adoption followed fast: 400,000+ downloads, 7,000+ GitHub stars, and ~3,000 new downloads each week. The draw is simplicity—one command, consistent output, and no ceremony. Teams keep their workflow; the tool quietly raises the floor on quality.
For the business, that means cleaner audit trails, faster reviews, and easier onboarding. Product managers and SREs can trace intent without pinging authors; compliance has a steadier paper trail; release notes practically write themselves.
The best part is invisibility. OpenCommit doesn’t ask developers to change how they think—it just removes friction. That’s why the community keeps choosing it: predictable, respectful of conventions, and relentlessly practical.
AI-TDD
AI-TDD began as a question: can an LLM close the red-to-green loop of TDD without breaking the craft? Our proof-of-concept lets you write a failing test; the LLM iterates in a REPL loop, running the suite and refining code until the test passes.
It resonated: ~270 stars and early inbound—from engineers experimenting with AI workflows to a VC firm reaching out at the very start of the AI wave. People used it to scaffold katas, spike prototypes, and explore what “AI pair-programming” feels like with clear guardrails.
The result isn’t magic; it’s disciplined automation. Tests stay the source of truth, humans stay in control, and the loop is inspectable. When it’s good, it removes boilerplate and nudges momentum forward; when it falls short, you see exactly where and why.
Our takeaway: AI-TDD is a glimpse of a near future where tests guide not just design, but generation. It taught us where AI shines (scaffolding, refactors, small units) and where human judgment remains non-negotiable (architecture, security, domain nuance). As with all good tools, it makes the important work more visible, not less.
