    I use a different LLM family to review commits and write detailed descriptions. If a commit was written with Fable/Opus, I use Sol/Astra to write a well reasoned commit message. If the message doesn't match my intent, then that triggers a manual review.

      If you ask an LLM to write a message that explains "the why", it'll make up a why.

        So we can read it, and correct it in the occasional event that its wrong.
