Frank – a terminal bot that writes your commits

Frank – a CLI that generates commit messages and mocks your code with surgical sarcasm

I'm a developer, and if there's one thing that makes me procrastinate and that I hate, it's writing commit messages. Especially when the code is a mess and I can't even explain what happened.

With that in mind, I'm creating Frank, a command-line bot that:

• Generates plausible commit messages (based on changes in your code)
• And also comments on your code with sharp humor, like "I'm tired of your mess".

The target audience is devs (mainly backends and fullstacks) who:

• Live in the terminal
• Are too lazy to write decent commits
• Hate “cute” assistants who treat everything like a productivity spa
• Like sarcasm and are self-critical enough to laugh at their own code

The goal isn't to automate everything or pretend that committing is fun.

It's just to lighten the boring task with a dose of sarcasm and make your Git history less embarrassing.

I'm validating the idea and would love to hear what you think:

• Would this be useful in your day-to-day life?
• What kind of dev do you think would use this all the time?
• Do you have any suggestions for sarcastic comments for Frank?

Have you ever had a headache with a poorly done commit that you don't even understand later? Like: fix: things

> …but no one knows what things are — not even you.
