That's it.aic analyzed the diff, detected new files, identified the language, and generated a perfect Conventional Commit — all in milliseconds, all offline.

🚀 Quick Start

One-time use (no install)

npx @liangzhengtao/commit-ai

Global install

npm install -g ai-commit

Then use it anywhere:

git add .
aic

The short alias aic works everywhere — it's the same command as ai-commit.

---

📖 Usage

Basic

# Stage your changes, then:
aic
# Or use the full name:
ai-commit

With Options

# Force a specific commit type
aic --type feat
# Add a scope
aic --scope auth
# Preview without committing
aic --dry-run
# Use a custom message (bypasses AI)
aic -m "your custom message"# Skip git hooks
aic --no-verify
# Auto-commit without confirmation
aic --yes
# Output as JSON (for CI pipelines)
aic --json

🧠 How It Works

aic uses rule-based diff analysis — no API keys, no network calls, no LLMs. Here's what happens when you run it:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 1. Read staged changes (git diff --cached) │
│ 2. Parse diff → detect new/deleted/modified files │
│ 3. Detect languages from file extensions │
│ 4. Classify change type from file patterns: │
│ • New .ts/.tsx/.js/.jsx files → feat │
│ • Test files (*.test.*, __tests__/) → test │
│ • Markdown files → docs │
│ • package.json → chore │
│ • .github/ → ci │
│ • Bug-related patterns → fix │
│ • Default → refactor │
│ 5. Detect scope from common directory │
│ 6. Generate natural language description │
│ 7. Format as Conventional Commit │
│ 8. Display in beautiful terminal UI │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Classification Rules

Pattern	Detected Type
New .ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx, .py, .go, .rs files	feat
*.test.*, *.spec.*, __tests__/, test/, tests/	test
*.md, *.mdx, docs/, CHANGELOG, LICENSE	docs
package.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml	chore
.github/, .gitlab-ci, .circleci/	ci
*.css, *.scss, *.sass, *.less	style
webpack, rollup, vite, tsconfig	build
Files with fix, bug, hotfix in name	fix
Everything else	refactor

---

📋 Conventional Commits

aic generates messages following the Conventional Commits specification:

<type>[optional scope]: <description>
[optional body]

Types

Type	When to Use
feat	A new feature
fix	A bug fix
docs	Documentation only
style	Formatting, missing semicolons, etc.
refactor	Code change that doesn't fix a bug or add a feature
perf	Performance improvement
test	Adding or fixing tests
chore	Build process or auxiliary tools
ci	CI configuration
build	Build system changes

Examples

feat(auth): add OAuth2 login flow
fix(api): handle null response from user endpoint
docs: update installation guide
refactor(utils): simplify date formatting functions
test(auth): add integration tests for login flow
chore: update dependencies to latest versions
ci: add Node 20 to test matrix

---

❓ FAQ

Does aic send my code to any server?

No.aic is 100% offline. All analysis happens locally using rule-based pattern matching. No API keys, no network requests, no telemetry.

Why rule-based instead of an LLM?

Three reasons:

1. Speed — Results in milliseconds, not seconds
2. Privacy — Your code never leaves your machine
3. Reliability — No rate limits, no API costs, no outages

Future versions may offer optional LLM integration as an enhancement, but the rule-based engine will always be the default.

Can I customize the commit types?

Not yet, but it's on the roadmap. See CHANGELOG.md for planned features.

Does it work with git hooks?

Yes! By default, aic runs git commit which triggers your hooks normally. Use --no-verify to skip them.

What if I want to edit the message before committing?

That's the default behavior! After aic suggests a message, you can:

• Press Enter to commit as-is
• Press E to edit the message interactively
• Press C to cancel

Can I use it in a monorepo?

Yes. aic automatically detects the scope from your file paths. If all changed files are in packages/auth/, it will suggest (auth) as the scope.

What Node.js version do I need?

Node.js 16 or higher.
