+```bash
+# AI provides commit message preview for copy/paste
+git add [files]
+# AI shows: "Ready to commit with message: [preview]"
+# User copies, pastes, and modifies as needed
+git commit -m "[user-approved-message]"

+3. User reviews, modifies, and commits manually
+4. User maintains full control over commit history
