Git commit automation: rebase squashing and Claude‑AI message tools differ in agentic handling

Developers can condense a series of experimental commits into a single, well‑described commit by using an interactive rebase. The process involves creating a temporary branch from the development branch, marking the first commit for editing and the rest as fixups, amending the edit with the desired message, completing the rebase, and finally renaming the branch.

Two separate scripts generate Conventional Commits messages with Claude. The hand‑run script git_commit.py extracts the staged diff and calls the Claude CLI directly. The MCP‑exposed generate_commit_message function performs the identical Claude call, but a @mcp.tool decorator turns the function’s signature into a JSON schema that agents can read, making the tool “agentic” despite identical underlying code.
