AI agents in the app

GitLane can draft a commit message (and describe what you’re looking at) without a pasted API key. It talks to a coding CLI you’re already signed in to — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and others — over the Agent Client Protocol. Your Pro/Max (or equivalent) subscription is what runs it.

Add an agent

1. Open Settings → AI Agents.
2. Add an agent from the catalogue. Pick the adapter, then the model and effort or fast mode that adapter actually advertises.
3. You can keep several. Reorder the list so the one you want is the default. Two rows on the same adapter is how two models stay a click apart.
4. The list shows whether each one is installed and signed in. Connect works even with no repository open, so you can set this up from the first screen.

If an adapter is missing or the CLI isn’t signed in, GitLane says so — it doesn’t sit there until a timeout.

Draft a commit message

1. Stage what you want, and open the commit composer as usual.
2. Use Draft (it becomes Improve once a message is there) and pick the agent.
3. A banner streams the tool the agent is running and the file it’s reading. Stop ends the process, not just the banner.

By default the agent is asked for a commit body as well as a subject, unless the change is small enough that the subject says everything.

Later releases add AI actions on a commit or the working tree, and agent-assisted conflict resolution, on top of this same agent list.

Good to know

Nothing billed on top of the CLI you already pay for, and no token stored in GitLane.

While an agent works, tool calls are held to read-only git commands. Anything that writes or hits the network is refused without asking.

Shipped in GitLane v2.1.0.
