PR Message FAQs

Question 1

How does PR Message work with Cursor IDE?

Accepted Answer

PR Message functions as a FastMCP server launched by Cursor. When you use the `/pr` command in Cursor chat, it gathers context (diffs, chats) and returns it as structured text. Cursor's internal LLM then synthesizes this context into a FreeIPA-style commit message.

Question 2

What is PR Message?

Accepted Answer

PR Message is a developer tool that automates the creation of FreeIPA-style commit messages. It does this by intelligently combining your staged or branch git diffs with relevant Cursor agent chat transcripts to generate comprehensive commit messages.

Question 3

What are the key benefits of using PR Message?

Accepted Answer

Using PR Message automates and standardizes your commit message creation, saving time and ensuring adherence to the FreeIPA convention. It leverages your real development context (code changes and chat discussions) for more accurate and descriptive commits, and can automatically add issue tracking URLs.

Question 4

What are the system requirements to run PR Message?

Accepted Answer

To run PR Message, you need Python 3.10+, `uv` (recommended) or `pip` for dependency management, `git` installed and on your system's PATH, and the Cursor IDE.

Question 5

Does PR Message use an external AI or LLM?

Accepted Answer

No, PR Message does not call any external LLMs. Its role is to gather and structure context from your git repository and Cursor agent transcripts, which is then passed to Cursor's own built-in LLM for final message synthesis.
