And in the time it takes to do all of that, the guy could have already written a meaningful commit message and be done with that issue for the day.
You only have to describe how you want commits written once and then the AI will just handle it. Is not that anyone of us can't write good commits, but humans get tired, lose focus, get interrupted, etc.
Just in my short time using Claude Code, it generally writes pretty good commits; it often adds more detail than I normally would not because I'm not capable but because there's a certain amount of cognitive overhead when it comes to writing good commits and it gets harder as our mental energy decreases.
I found this custom command [1] for Claude Code and it reminded me that there's no way a human can consistently do this every single time, perhaps a dozen times per day, unless they're doing n

# Git Status Command
Show detailed git repository status
*Command originally created by IndyDevDan (YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@indydevdan) / DislerH (GitHub: https://github.com/disler)*
## Instructions
Analyze the current state of the git repository by performing the following steps:
1. *Run Git Status Commands*
- Execute `git status` to see current working tree state
- Run `git diff HEAD origin/main` to check differences with remote
- Execute `git branch --show-current` to display current branch
- Check for uncommitted changes and untracked files
2. *Analyze Repository State*
- Identify staged vs unstaged changes
- List any untracked files
- Check if branch is ahead/behind remote
- Review any merge conflicts if present
3. *Read Key Files*
- Review README.md for project context
- Check for any recent changes in important files
- Understand project structure if needed
4. *Provide Summary*
- Current branch and its relationship to main/master
- Number of commits ahead/behind
- List of modified files with change types
- Any action items (commits needed, pulls required, etc.)
This command helps developers quickly understand:
- What changes are pending
- The repository's sync status
- Whether any actions are needed before continuing work
