As an experiment I asked Claude to manage my git commits, it wrote the messages, kept a log, archived excess documentation, and worked really well for about 2 weeks. Then, as the project got larger, the commit process was taking longer and longer to execute. I finally pulled the plug when the automated commit process - which had performed flawlessly for dozens of commits and archives, accidentally irretrievably lost a batch of work - messed up the archive process and deleted it without archiving it first, didn’t commit it either. AI/LLM workflows are non-deterministic. This means: they make mistakes. If you want something reliable, scalable, repeatable, have the AI write you code to do it deterministically as a tool, not as a workflow.
