Question 1

Is Quackie a commit message generator?

Accepted Answer

No. It's a personality runtime. Commits are the first integration target. Quackie rewrites what you write — it doesn't generate from nothing.

Question 2

Do I need persona files in my repo?

Accepted Answer

No. All 22 personas ship bundled inside the extension. Zero config files committed to your project.

Question 3

Does it work in Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cursor supports VS Code extensions including Git integration. Install the VSIX the same way.

Question 4

Will it overwrite my edits?

Accepted Answer

Not if you manually changed a generated commit. Quackie enters a frozen state until you clear the input or trigger Rewrite Now.

Question 5

Does it use AI right now?

Accepted Answer

v0.1 ships with a deterministic mock rewrite service. Real LLM backend is planned for v0.2.

Question 6

Conventional Commits — preserved?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Semantic meaning and format are preserved. One emoji prefix is added. Max 72 characters enforced.
