noidea 0.1.0

AI powered commit suggestions

noidea

AI-powered commit message suggestions via git hooks. Stages a diff, sends it to Claude, and pre-fills your commit editor.

Install

pipx install noidea
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
noidea init

Requires pipx. Alternatively: pip install noidea

noidea init installs a prepare-commit-msg hook in your repo. From then on, every git commit opens your editor with a suggested message pre-filled.

Commands

noidea init

Installs the git hook. Backs up any existing prepare-commit-msg as .bak. Respects core.hooksPath.

noidea update

Updates noidea to the latest version via pipx upgrade noidea (falls back to pip install --upgrade noidea).

noidea suggest

Generates a commit message from the current staged diff and prints it.

Options:
  -F, --file TEXT   Write message to file instead of stdout (used by the hook)

Config

Optional config at ~/.noidea/noidea.toml:

[llm]
model = "claude-sonnet-4-6"
max_tokens = 1024
system_prompt = "Your custom prompt here"

Falls back to built-in defaults if no config file exists.

Requirements

• Python 3.13+
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY env var
