I use Claude code in the terminal only mostly to figure out what to commit along with what to write for the commit message. I believe a solid 7-8b model can do this locally.

So, that’s at least one small highly useful workflow robot I have a use for (and very easy to cook up on your own).

I also have a use for terminal command autocompletion, which again, a small model can be great for.

Something felt kind really wrong about sending entire folder contents over to Claude online, so I am absolutely looking to create the toolkit locally.

The universe off offline is just getting started, and these big companies literally are telling you “watch out, we save this stuff”.
