Commsies

Shipping work and communicating that work are different jobs, and the second one silently does not happen. Release notes go stale, changelogs get skipped, and by the time anyone writes an update the context has been lost. Handing the whole repository to a hosted model is also not an option when the code is private.

Commsies takes a structured payload — the commits plus the markdown documents that accompany them — and runs a staged generation pipeline that produces a summary first, then derives a tweet and a newsfeed post from that summary rather than from the raw diff. Collection is deliberately kept on the sender's side, so it can be driven from a git hook, CI, or a custom script, and the service stays a pure transformation. Inference runs against a self-hosted Ollama instance in production, which keeps private code on hardware the author controls; a Cloudflare Workers AI path remains for hosted experiments.

Runs as part of the GotchiBot fleet on a self-hosted host alongside Ollama, converting development activity into publishable updates without sending private source to a third-party model.
