Pre-Commit Summary
The Pre-Commit Summary is a checkpoint before you commit agent-written code. It aggregates everything that happened since your last commit into a single review modal — files changed, risk signals, dependency modifications, and a suggested commit message.
Opening the Pre-Commit Summary
- Command Palette:
UnfoldAI: Pre-commit Summary - Dashboard: Action button in the status area
The summary automatically scopes to changes since your last git commit, so you only see what's new.
What You'll See
The Pre-Commit Summary modal includes:
Risk Assessment
A risk badge showing the assessed risk level and score for the current changes. Levels range from low to critical, with color-coded indicators.
Summary Metrics
Quick stats at a glance:
- Files changed (by agent and manually)
- Commands executed
- Active session duration
- Episodes triggered
- Test results
- Issues detected
- Dependency changes
Files Changed
A list of all files modified by agents, with change attribution.
Risk Signals
Specific risk indicators worth reviewing before committing — things like unresolved issues, high file churn, or dependency changes.
Verification Checklist
Interactive checkboxes for pre-commit review items. Check them off as you verify each area.
Suggested Commit Message
UnfoldAI generates a commit message based on the actual changes — using real file names, git diff statistics, and the nature of the work done. You can copy it directly or edit it.
On the Free tier, you get 3 AI-generated commit messages per month. After that, a template-based fallback message is shown with an upgrade prompt. Pro and Ultra plans include unlimited AI commit messages.
AI Run Narrative (Pro)
A narrative summary of the session — what the agent set out to do, what it accomplished, and what to watch out for.

Automatic Scope Reset
UnfoldAI watches for git commits and automatically resets the pre-commit scope. When you commit (from any tool — VS Code, terminal, GitHub Desktop, or an AI agent), the next pre-commit summary only shows changes after that commit.
