six prompts. one conventional commit. type selection through to creation - the whole thing. launching next week. for real this time.

i’m sorry to tell this but release of merlin-commit needs to be postponed by one week

If you've been following along - thank you. Genuinely. The bugs I shared were real. The fixes were real. Wednesday you get to try the whole thing.

today starts launch week. whatever happens - whether 5 people try it or 500 - shipping a complete, tested, documented v1.0.0 of an open source tool is a milestone I'm not going to minimize. #BuildInPublic #MerlinCommit #Git

@FlorenceTo16757 thanks, appreciate your kind words

@mBukat0r Nice to see progress on this. Hope the launch goes smoothly this time.

@shakibmunsi0 yeah, some final touches left and it’ll be ready. release on wednesday

@mBukat0r Ready 🤔

merlin-commit v1.0.0 drops next week. Genuine question - what would make you actually try a new commit tool? #BuildInPublic #Git #CLI

The constraint also forced a better security pattern. // dangerous - input escapes into the shell string execSync(`git commit -m "${message}"`) // safe - input is just data await execa('git', ['commit', '-m', message]) Args arrays instead of string interpolation. Every single git call. #BuildInPublic #CLI

the stats: network calls: 0 telemetry: 0 data collected: 0 no analytics dashboard. no anonymous usage data. no background pings. nothing leaves your machine because nothing is sent. treating offline-first as a hard constraint, not a goal.

zero telemetry. zero network calls. fully offline. building a CLI in 2026 and choosing to collect nothing feels radical. It shouldn't. what that actually looks like:

@adevopsgirl_ interactive CLI workflows are underrated. just posted the full merlin-commit commit flow. six prompts turns into perfect conventional commit. v1.0.0 next week.

@bruindev @samgrows love the flow you mentioned, tbh I'm in love with CLI tools which makes life easier, it's just the best. working on one, just showed the full merlin-commit flow: six prompts in wizard theme turns into one perfect conventional commit.

@samgrows I created a bunch of tutorial videos but needed to convert them to text tutorials for our website, I ended up giving the URLs to Claude and it used an opensource cli tool to fetch the transcription of the videos and convert them into webpages. It was pretty cool.

BREAKING: Claude can now watch videos for you! You can plug in a YouTube, Tiktok or Instagram URL and let Claude break it down for you Live now inside of Algrow

@ardadev love the leaderboard idea. dude it looks awesome! if you’re into CLI dev tools just dropped a full interactive commit flow video for merlin-commit. in six prompts you get perfect conventional commit. v1 next week

six prompts -> one perfect conventional commit. wizard theme because dev tools can (and should) be fun ✨ merlin-commit v1.0.0 drops next week. full flow in the video 👇

called merlin-commit. interactive conventional commits with a wizard theme because developer tools should be at least a little fun. v1.0.0 next week. #BuildInPublic #DevTools

this is what I've been thinking about. what if you replaced human review speed with human review rules? a reviewer agent that knows your rules - not generic rules, yours. no hardcoded secrets, tests exist, follows your patterns. flags back to the writer if it fails, pings you only when it passes. let's say frame it like this: "you stop being the first filter. you become the final approval" (2/2)

@conao_3 @songmu yeah, review can't keep up. right framing. I don't think the answer is skipping it - it's making the gate mandatory. issue -> AI PR -> required human approval before merge. that gate has to be enforced, not optional. optional review doesn't happen. (1/2)

AI Agentのリクエストをプロキシ経由にして特定のサイトにしかアクセスできないようにするのは、以前紹介したfenceも正しくその機能を備えているし、nonoやsrtなどもあります。 songmu.jp/riji/entry/202…

@conao_3 @songmu 500 commits is a different. --dry-run won't save you there. maybe try set hourly checkpoints. 500 -> 12 batches of ~40 is still a lot, but at least you can check in during the day.

@mBukat0r @songmu AI Agentは私が働いている間、12時間の作業を自宅のPCで行い、私が帰ってきたときに500コミットを見せてきます。そしてAI Agentはこれをpushするように求めます。500コミットを監査するのは現実的ではありません。

@bikun_bikun same thing broke me. I added --dry-run to merlin-commit so you see exactly what you're about to commit before the passphrase shows up. built it when I got tired of half-typing my passphrase, second-guessing the message, and aborting.

claude使ってる時のgit commitどうしてる？いっつもgpgのパスフレーズ入れるところで突っかかるんだよなぁ

@conao_3 @songmu same anxiety here lol that’s exactly why I built --dry-run into merlin-commit: full commit preview (“here’s exactly what I would do, but I’m not going to do it”) before anything actually happens. you can check it out in my latest tweet

@songmu git commit / pushの権限をAI Agentに渡したいので、いつコミットに機微情報が載ってpushされないか戦々恐々としています
