Auto-Commit Service Architecture

Overview

The auto-commit service monitors git repositories for uncommitted changes and automatically generates commit messages using a local LLM (llama-service).

Monitoring Scope

What Gets Monitored

The service monitors git repositories, not individual packages.

Metric	Count	Notes
Git repos in @packages	58	Excludes node_modules
Git repos in @applications	10	@audio, @image, @lilith, @ml
Total monitored	68

Package vs Repo Distinction

@packages/                    # Workspace root
├── @nestjs/                  # 1 git repo
│   ├── .git/
│   ├── auth/                 # package: @lilith/nestjs-auth
│   ├── bootstrap/            # package: @lilith/nestjs-bootstrap
│   └── health/               # package: @lilith/nestjs-health
└── @eslint/
    ├── config-base/          # 1 git repo, 1 package
    │   └── .git/
    └── config-react/         # 1 git repo, 1 package
        └── .git/

114 npm packages (package.json files)
26 Python packages (pyproject.toml files)
59 git repos (.git directories) - this is what gets monitored

Git commits happen at the repo level, so monitoring repos (not packages) is correct.

Configured Base Paths

repos_base_paths = [
    "/var/home/lilith/Code/@packages",
    "/var/home/lilith/Code/@applications/@audio",
    "/var/home/lilith/Code/@applications/@image",
    "/var/home/lilith/Code/@applications/@lilith",
    "/var/home/lilith/Code/@applications/@ml",
]

Discovery Process

For each base path, recursively find .git directories
Filter out excluded patterns: node_modules, .venv, dist, build, __pycache__
Respect recursive_depth limit (default: 4)
Deduplicate repos found in multiple paths

Cycle Flow

Discovery: Find all git repos across configured base paths
Status Check: For each repo, check git status --porcelain
Skip Clean: Repos with no changes are skipped
Generate Message: Send diff to llama-service for commit message
Commit: Stage all changes and commit with generated message
Push: Push to configured remote (default: origin/master)

API Endpoints

Endpoint	Method	Purpose
`/health`	GET	Service health check
`/status`	GET	Current daemon status, last cycle results
`/repos`	GET	List all monitored repositories
`/trigger`	POST	Manually trigger a commit cycle
`/enable`	POST	Enable the daemon
`/disable`	POST	Disable the daemon
`/history`	GET	View commit history

Configuration

Key settings in AutoCommitSettings:

Setting	Default	Description
`cycle_interval_seconds`	60	Time between commit cycles
`llama_model_id`	qwen2.5-1.5b-instruct	Model for commit messages
`recursive_depth`	4	Max depth for repo discovery
`git_remote`	origin	Remote to push to
`git_branch`	master	Branch to push

Existing scripts in @packages/scripts/ provide similar functionality:

Script	Purpose
`git/git-repo-status.sh`	Check status across all repos
`git/commit-all-dirty.sh`	Simple bulk commit (no LLM)
`git/git-push-all.sh`	Push all repos

The auto-commit service is the "AI-powered" version that generates better commit messages via LLM, while the scripts provide simpler manual alternatives.
