## Description

aicommits is a command line tool and AI code summarizer that generates descriptive git commit messages by analyzing staged code changes. It functions as an LLM git commit generator, transforming technical diffs into human-readable summaries based on standardized formats.

The project features a multi-provider AI interface that connects to either cloud-based or local artificial intelligence models. Users can customize generation logic through specific language locales, length constraints, and custom prompts to ensure consistent version control documentation.

The tool integrates directly into version control workflows via git hooks to automate the authoring process. It includes systems for managing AI provider credentials, model selection, and user preferences through configuration files and environment variables.
