- **Smart Token Management**: Automatic context window optimization with precise token counting

## Quick Start

### Installation
```bash
pip install buildpost
```

### Setup

1. Pick your LLM provider:
   - `openai`: GPT-4o mini (default) or any compatible Chat Completions model
   - `groq`: Lightning-fast Qwen3 and Llama-family models
   - `claude`: Claude Sonnet 4.5 or other Anthropic models
   - `openrouter`: GPT-4o mini (default) or any compatible Chat Completions model

2. Grab an API key:
   - OpenAI: [OpenAI dashboard](https://platform.openai.com/api-keys)
   - Groq: [Groq console](https://console.groq.com/keys)
   - Claude: [Anthropic console](https://console.anthropic.com/)
   - OpenRouter: [OpenRouter keys](https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys)

3. Configure BuildPost:
```bash
buildpost config set-key YOUR_API_KEY           # saves key for the active provider (OpenAI by default)
# Optional: switch providers or customise the default model
buildpost config set-provider groq --model qwen/qwen3-32b
buildpost config set-key --provider groq gsk-XXXX
# Or use Claude
buildpost config set-provider claude --model claude-sonnet-4-5
buildpost config set-key --provider claude sk-ant-XXXX
```

Prefer environment variables?
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY=your_key    # or GROQ_API_KEY=... or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... or OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...
```

### Usage

Generate a post from your latest commit:
```bash
buildpost
```

That's it! The post will be generated and copied to your clipboard.

## Advanced Usage

### Specify a Commit
```bash
# Use a specific commit
buildpost --commit abc123

# Use a commit range (summarizes multiple commits)
buildpost --range HEAD~5..HEAD
```

### Choose a Style
```bash
# Available styles: casual, professional, technical, thread_starter, achievement, learning
buildpost --style professional
```

### Target a Platform
```bash
# Available platforms: twitter, linkedin, devto, generic
buildpost --platform linkedin
```

### Combine Options
```bash
buildpost --commit abc123 --style technical --platform devto --no-hashtags
```

## Weekly Changelog

Generate a weekly changelog from recent commits:
```bash
# Default: last 7 days from HEAD
buildpost changelog

# Look back 14 days
buildpost changelog --days 14

# Specific date range
buildpost changelog --since 2026-01-01 --until 2026-01-07

# Git revision range
buildpost changelog --range main..HEAD

# Write to a file
buildpost changelog --output WEEKLY_CHANGELOG.md
```

## AI-Powered Commit Messages

BuildPost now includes a powerful feature to generate commit messages from your code changes using AI! Instead of manually writing commit messages, let AI analyze your `git diff` and create clear, conventional commit messages.

The commit feature includes **intelligent token management** that automatically optimizes context window usage, ensuring your diffs fit within model limits while reserving sufficient space for detailed commit messages.

### Basic Usage
```bash
# Generate and commit with AI-generated message
buildpost commit

# Stage all changes first, then generate commit message
buildpost commit --stage-all

# Generate message but don't commit (preview only)
buildpost commit --no-commit
```

### Commit Message Styles

Choose from three commit message styles:

#### Conventional Commits (Default)
Follows the [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/) specification:
```bash
buildpost commit --style commit_conventional
```

**Example output:**
```
feat(auth): add JWT token refresh mechanism
```

#### Detailed Commits
Includes a descriptive body explaining the changes:
```bash
buildpost commit --style commit_detailed
```

**Example output:**
```
Add user authentication with JWT

Implemented JWT-based authentication to replace session-based auth.
This provides better scalability and enables stateless authentication
across multiple servers. Added token refresh mechanism and middleware
for protecting routes.
```

#### Simple Commits
Concise, single-line messages:
```bash
buildpost commit --style commit_simple
```

**Example output:**
```
Add JWT authentication system
```

### Token Management

BuildPost uses precise token counting (via `tiktoken`) to optimize context window usage:
```bash
# Use default settings (1500 tokens for output, auto-calculated diff limit)
buildpost commit

# Increase output token limit for very detailed commits
buildpost commit --output-tokens 3000

# Reduce output tokens for simpler commits or smaller models
buildpost commit --output-tokens 800

# Manually control diff token limit
buildpost commit --max-tokens 50000
```

**How it works:**
- Automatically calculates optimal token allocation based on your model's context window
- OpenAI models: up to 128K tokens
- Groq models: 32K-131K tokens depending on model
- Claude models: up to 200K tokens
- Intelligently truncates large diffs by preserving whole files when possible
- Shows clear feedback about token usage

**Example output:**
```bash
$ buildpost commit --style commit_detailed

Token allocation - Diff: 197,650 | Output: 1,500
Diff size: 3,245 tokens (within limit)

Generated Commit Message (commit_detailed)
...
```

### Workflow

1. **Make your changes** to the code
2. **Stage your changes** (or use `--stage-all`)
```bash
   git add .
   # or
   buildpost commit --stage-all
```
3. **Generate and commit**
```bash
   buildpost commit
```
4. **Review the generated message** - You'll see:
   - Token allocation summary
   - List of staged files
   - AI-generated commit message
   - Options to: commit (y), edit (e), or cancel (n)

5. **Edit if needed** - Choose 'e' to open your editor and modify the message

### Examples

#### Example 1: Quick commit with staged changes
```bash
$ git add src/auth.py src/middleware.py
$ buildpost commit

Token allocation - Diff: 197,800 | Output: 1,500
Diff size: 1,234 tokens (within limit)

Staged files (2):
  ✓ src/auth.py
  ✓ src/middleware.py

Generated Commit Message (commit_conventional)

feat(auth): implement JWT authentication middleware

Do you want to commit with this message?
  y - Yes, commit now
  e - Edit message
  n - Cancel

Choice [y]: y

✓ Committed successfully!
Commit hash: a1b2c3d
```

#### Example 2: Large diff with intelligent truncation
```bash
$ buildpost commit --stage-all --style commit_detailed

Token allocation - Diff: 150,000 | Output: 1,500
⚠ Diff truncated: 175,432 → 149,856 tokens

Staged files (25):
  ✓ src/api/routes.py
  ✓ src/models/user.py
  ... and 23 more

Generated Commit Message (commit_detailed)

Refactor authentication system to use JWT

Replaced session-based authentication with JWT tokens for improved
scalability. Updated user model to store refresh tokens, added new
API routes for token refresh, and implemented comprehensive test
coverage. Documentation updated to reflect the new auth flow.

Do you want to commit with this message?
```

#### Example 3: Use Claude for detailed analysis
```bash
$ buildpost commit --provider claude --style commit_detailed --output-tokens 2000

Token allocation - Diff: 196,500 | Output: 2,000
Diff size: 8,432 tokens (within limit)

Generated Commit Message (commit_detailed)

[Comprehensive detailed message with extra context thanks to larger output limit]
```

### Commit Command Options
```bash
buildpost commit [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -s, --style TEXT       Commit message style (commit_conventional, 
                         commit_detailed, commit_simple) 
                         [default: commit_conventional]
  -a, --stage-all        Stage all changes before committing
  --no-commit            Generate message only, don't commit
  --api-key TEXT         LLM API key (overrides config)
  --provider TEXT        LLM provider to use (openai, groq, claude)
  --max-tokens INTEGER   Maximum tokens for diff content (auto-calculated if not set)
  --output-tokens INTEGER Tokens reserved for AI response [default: 1500]
  --help                 Show this message and exit
```

### Tips

- **Review before committing**: The tool shows you the message before committing, giving you a chance to edit or cancel
- **Use conventional style for team projects**: The `commit_conventional` style follows industry standards
- **Stage incrementally**: Stage related changes together for more focused commit messages
- **Edit when needed**: Don't hesitate to choose 'e' and refine the AI-generated message
- **Preview first**: Use `--no-commit` to see what message would be generated
- **Adjust output tokens for style**: Use `--output-tokens 3000` for very detailed commits, or `--output-tokens 500` for simple ones
- **Claude for large changes**: Claude's 200K context window is perfect for analyzing large diffs
- **Watch token limits**: The tool automatically truncates large diffs to fit within model limits

## Troubleshooting

### "No API key found"

Make sure you've saved a key for the provider you're using:
```bash
buildpost config set-provider openai
buildpost config set-key --provider openai sk-...   # OpenAI key

buildpost config set-provider groq
buildpost config set-key --provider groq gsk-...    # Groq key

buildpost config set-provider claude
buildpost config set-key --provider claude sk-ant-...  # Claude key

buildpost config set-provider openrouter
buildpost config set-key --provider openrouter sk-or-v1-...    # OpenRouter key
```

Environment variable names:

| Provider | Environment variable | Notes |
|----------|----------------------|-------|
| `openai` | `OPENAI_API_KEY`     | Works with GPT-4o mini, GPT-4o, GPT-3.5 |
| `groq`   | `GROQ_API_KEY`       | Supports Qwen & Llama models |
| `claude` | `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`  | Supports Claude 4 and Claude 3.5 models |
| `openrouter` | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` | Supports GPT-4o mini, Llama, Grok models |

Set it before running BuildPost:
```bash
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
```

### "Model context window is too small"

If you see this error when using `buildpost commit`:
```
Error: Model 'model-name' context window (8,192 tokens) is too small.
Required: 10,350 tokens (prompt: 850, output: 1500, reserves: 600)
Available for diff: -2,158 tokens (need at least 500)
```

**Solutions:**
1. Use a model with a larger context window (e.g., Claude with 200K tokens)
2. Reduce output tokens: `--output-tokens 800`
3. Use a simpler commit style: `--style commit_simple`
4. Stage fewer files at once

### "Diff truncated" warning

This is normal for large changes. The tool intelligently truncates your diff to fit within the model's context window while preserving whole files when possible. The AI can still generate good commit messages from the truncated diff.

To reduce truncation:
- Use Claude (200K context window)
- Commit smaller changesets
- Use `--max-tokens` to allow more diff content (if model supports it)

### "Not a git repository"

Run BuildPost from within a git repository:
```bash
cd your-git-repo
buildpost
```

### "Invalid commit reference"

Make sure the commit hash exists:
```bash
git log --oneline  # See available commits
buildpost --commit <hash>
```

### Generated post is too long

Try a different platform or style:
```bash
buildpost --platform twitter  # Shorter format
buildpost --style casual       # Usually more concise
```

### API rate limits

Each provider enforces its own rate/usage limits. If you hit them:
- OpenAI: check account limits or switch to a lighter model (gpt-4o-mini, gpt-3.5)
- Groq: review quota in the Groq console or pick a smaller model
- Claude: check your Anthropic console for usage limits
- OpenRouter: check credits available and usage limits for the API key
- Reduce how frequently you generate posts
